P and C places

I'm now thinking about packing some sandwiches and a flask and spending the day watching the P and C places to see all the antics old people get up to.

I am planning to give birth in a P and C space. However, I am also quite old (38) so I may not be allowed.

Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 06:02

You may need binoculars, unless you are planning to park in one of these gold plated coveted spaces yourself. Shock Grin

sashh · 16/05/2012 06:12

I have a blue badge - I can park in the even better spaces and watch from there.

Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 06:13

That's ok then. Will you be taking notes? Grin

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 16/05/2012 06:16

What you have to do is hide round the corner, write down the registration number of anyone using these spaces and then email the supermarket and complain!

Obviously they would ignore you but then you can post in AIBU "am I being unreasonable to report all the old/disabled/terrible people who park in the Asda p&c spaces?" and we can all have a good laugh, you know thee would be at least 1 person who agreed with you :)

Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 06:19

Someone will accuse you if parking in a disabled space but not getting out of the car. Shock

sashh · 16/05/2012 06:22

Sparklingbrook I'll use the cash point then go back to the car. Do you think I need a camera?

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 06:25

Oooh possibly, especially if the old people are doing particuarly shocking things in those spaces. Shock

sashh · 16/05/2012 06:29

OK so

sandwiches and a greggs suasage roll
flask
camera
thermometer to check for cold people
poop scoop for the designer dog (will empty into a car with an unattended child with the window open 6in)
blue badge
note book

do I need anything else?

Megatron · 16/05/2012 06:36

I was thinking of having a poo right there in the middle of a p & c space. How d'a like them apples eh????

FrankWippery · 16/05/2012 06:39

Do NOT take your children with you. YOu need to gather as many catsbumfaces as possible. I find that one can get at least treble this way.

And park crappily. You can borrow my tank if you like.

Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 06:42

Cat poo seems to be missing from your list.

sashh · 16/05/2012 06:42

There's a point, maybe I need a bigger car............

EchoBitch · 16/05/2012 06:43

I have a blue badge in my bag too.

It's my Mum's really.

WWYD? Grin

FrankWippery · 16/05/2012 06:54

Morning Echo - I think you know the answer there Grin

Sashh - I think it's necessary. I find that the bigger the vehicle, the crapper the parking. Result: piss many many people off which, TBPH, is my aim.

sashh · 16/05/2012 06:56

OK then, I'll borrow a transit and park diagonally accross two blue badge spaces, or if I can one BB and one P and C.

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 07:05

You will need a She-Wee. You might nip to the loo and miss the cold old people doing something terrible. Shock

sashh · 16/05/2012 07:07

I'll wear a nappy

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 16/05/2012 07:13

When are you setting off? Do old cold people get up early to shop and sleep all afternoon?

sashh · 16/05/2012 07:17

Well according to the other threads they wait until lunch time to come out, So I'll head off about 10.30 and stay until 4ish to catch the kids on their way home from school.

OP posts:
bejeezus · 16/05/2012 07:19

You should wear a burqa

sashh · 16/05/2012 07:21

Lol at the burqa. Yes and I will pretend I don't speak English.

I'll probably be arrested for suspected terrorism, what with the burqa, nappy and camera.

I actually took great pleasure at gorping at an individual being booked for parking illegally in a disabled bay the other day. First the traffic warden was there then an official was called. It was great, went on for ages. Pity I didn't have any sandwiches and a flask with me. From what I could tell she was using a dodgy blue badge.

UnChartered · 16/05/2012 09:40

you do need a transit, with a booster seat in the front - never fails to raise a few eyebrows when DH uses his 'company car' Grin

rhondajean · 16/05/2012 10:11

You will need to just open the car/ tank door and throw your used nappy out (have we had that mentioned recently?)
