Fuck. Conned into a serious if predictable response.

I knew I shouldn't have had any wine this evening. Saw the thread title, missed the OP's "new" name Grin and weighed in for the parking-thread bingo.

"Middle aged eh?

I had you down as an older Mum"

Agree maryz :)

Sainsburys policy is a child is up to 15. So you can park with your truculent 14 year old in a Sainsbo's P&T space Hmm

rogersmellyonthetelly · 28/12/2011 21:57

Has anyone mentioned disabled spaces yet?
Ftr I drive a huge fuck off 4x4, my youngest is 5 and I still park in p&c if I can, mostly because my dd still can't strap herself in properly but also because I have a fat arse, and also because I dont want anyone to dent my car door as happens every damn time I park (perfectly straight and central) in a normal space.
Can I have a Xmas Biscuit now?

JjandtheBean · 28/12/2011 21:57

I am young and blonde and I have a --fantasy that my heap of a 307 is a-- sports car.

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 28/12/2011 21:57

Not yow, bab! Never yow. Just one lady that I've seen spreading the cat's bum on more than one thread tonight.

I love yow, though. BTW my FB chat is bost. That timeline thingy has FUCKED ME OVER big style. Cor PM yow either. :(

pippibluestocking · 28/12/2011 21:58

My local Sainsbos specifies that they are for shoppers with children under 12 years

StickAForkInMeImDone · 28/12/2011 21:58

The picture of the parent and child is painted on the parking space isn't it? So maybe we should make our DC lie down on the picture to be measured and if they are the same size or smaller then you are allowed to park there

SuePurblybilt · 28/12/2011 21:58

Loo brushes though, there's a thing.

Useful for storing small amounts of dirty water and shit particles, I find. In fact, I've not found anything else to do the job half as well.

Sparklingbrook · 28/12/2011 21:58

I feel conned and violated. Sad I am new too (reasonably). Sad

Shenanagins · 28/12/2011 21:59

There are some car parks (like our local supermarket) which have very tight spaces which makes getting out with car seat and putting onto chasis very difficult without hitting the next car. As I don't want to accidently damage other peoples cars, I think they are a great thing.

Nothing to do with getting wet as live in Scotland so baby will have to get used to it very quickly.

StickAForkInMeImDone · 28/12/2011 22:01

My DS found the loo brush, left (uncleaned) by our previous neighbours, before I did. Not nice. Not nice at all.
Who the fuck leaves their loo brush when they move house?

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 28/12/2011 22:01

If someone usurps me to a P&C space that I am entitled to thus forcing me into a civilian space, what I do is let my 4 year-old practice writing on the offending car with my keys.

That'll learn them.

WinterWonderlandIsComing · 28/12/2011 22:03

I thought you meant me BaC, but I haven't been spreading my cat's bum anywhere but here, and that was only for the bingo.

Who do you mean?

whomovedmychocolate · 28/12/2011 22:03

Ya bloody wimps. I have manfully hurled my children into the back of our peoplecarrier via the boot hatch. They scurry to their seats and sit quietly awaiting strapping in (which for the record I do from the driver's seat (I have arms like Mr Tickle) and I then pack the shopping into the car and drive out having sensibly reversed in so I can get out despite Mr Twat parking a foot too far out of his space opposite so I have crap visibility.

And I have a fat arse, yet I can still generally get into my car and if I can't I sit on the bonnet of the offending car till it's owner returns, bouncing gently and spilling various items of my shopping across the windscreen (honey is fun).

Roffle sticka at laying the dcs down on the painting.

whomovedmychocolate · 28/12/2011 22:05

We recently moved and also found a loo brush. We hired a skip and threw it in there lest it contaminate our nice clean wheelie bin

However they are useful when you find a P&T space hogger, you can smear their windows with your shitty brush instead of firing off verbal insults. Much more productive....sort of Hmm Grin

ChimesTrulyRing · 28/12/2011 22:06

Oh SparklingBrook, I'm sorry.

OP posts:
rogersmellyonthetelly · 28/12/2011 22:06

Mine is a normal sized car, it's the parking spaces that are too small

Sparklingbrook · 28/12/2011 22:07

I still have so much to learn.
