All mother and babies spaces should be replaced with "Hummers only"

(something you want to tell us hatrick...?)

no, i think single men in open topped cars and highlighted woman in 4x4s should be allowed to park lengthways across 2 p&t spaces.

i think mntowers should rename aibu topic 'supermarket parking spaces'.

daizydoo, unfortunately the subject of your thread comes up at least weekly.

oh bloody hell not again!

WanderingTrolley · 22/05/2007 14:59

ah!ah!ah!

fannieannie don't go there!

that kicked off the other week!

All children should just be kept away from supermarkets, it causes too many rows on here.

Are you going to say that Elderly/Disabled people should not be allowed to use M+B parking spaces? If yes then you are in for a long day.

Hey Daisy, didn't you know it's MN etiquette to read through all the posts on a particular topic before you start a new thread?

(Only joking )

lilmamma · 22/05/2007 14:58

I think it depends on the child,my niece is 7,but she is autistic,so the closer to the shop the better,and she also needs the space to open the door wide to get her out the car.I suppose if your child is in a car seat then you need the space otherwise you would take the paint off the car next to you.

The other day I say a woman of about 50 in a sports car with a lap dog nick a space off a woman in a clio with a newborn. I guess she thought the dog was her 'baby' lol

anyone want some popcorn?

fannyannie · 22/05/2007 14:57

well.....I'm not too fussy about M&B parking spaces..........BUT - how do you know if a child is aged under 5???? without actually asking the parents?

Perhaps the 'older' looking child is older - but has disabilities??

IdrisTheDragon · 22/05/2007 14:57

This is a Mumsnet touch paper subject .

Long threads generally happen on this subject .

tinymum · 22/05/2007 14:57

No, I think you are right, but people generally don't give a toss about this.

BibiThree · 22/05/2007 14:57

Not unreasonable to club abusers of these spaces with a frozen leg of lamb upon spotting them i'd say...
