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.

Sounds like a great day out to me!

EldritchCleavage · 16/05/2012 10:30

You will also need: cat's bum face, at least one arm free to hoik up bosom, judgy pants, sense of entitlement and ingrained hostility at the entire world but especially the elderly.

bejeezus · 16/05/2012 10:36

do you want me to come and sit with you sashh? I could bring a gun and some doughnuts?

MaisyMooCow · 16/05/2012 10:39

Ah, but which supermarket? Where are we guaranteed to see the best action?

backwardpossom · 16/05/2012 10:41

Chavsda, surely?

backwardpossom · 16/05/2012 11:34

Sorry...

If you're going to park in a Blue Badge space, then why not borrow something expensive for the day to add to the wind-up possibilities? A big Jaguar would do the trick, or a fancy BMW etc.

After all, everyone knows that the government gives you them for free, just because you have a bit of a limp, don't they?

PickledFanjoCat · 16/05/2012 12:22

You must smoke. Cigarettes have been done, you should take a bong.

LadyBeagleEyes · 16/05/2012 12:29

Can I ride shotgun sash?
I've got a dog that could poo in the parking space, and I could train it to jump on toddlers.
I'm also a smoker.

PickledFanjoCat · 16/05/2012 12:31

I'd go for waitrose personally. Far more scope for a few children who melt in rain.

sue52 · 16/05/2012 13:42

Yes to fags and gin.

Off topic After all, everyone knows that the government gives you them for free, just because you have a bit of a limp, don't they?

I wish, I have to find £1500 between now and August for the adaptions.

Back to the topic

OK today was Tesco and I was disgusted - not one person parked in the P and C without a C! And there were loads of spaces. Maybe because the car park is underneath the Tesco store and dry.

So today's mission I think will be Waitrose - thank you PickledFanjoCat for the melting child suggestion

UnChartered - yes bring the transit with baby seat but no child

bejeezus yes come along with doughnuts and the bong, I don't have one hanging around

LadyBeagleEyes you and your dog are welcome, do you want to sit in the transit or can you find a 4 x4 to park badly.

sue52 the fags and gin sound good

OK so we are now a teem of P and C watches, what should the team be called? My vote is Bill (considered timmothy but that's more a name of an axe)

OK do we need to keep a score?

1 point for spotting anyone without a C in the P and C - 2 points if they use a blue badge in the space, 3 for being elderly - if both elderly and use a BB then 10 points.

1 point for anyone parking in BB space without a BB, 2 if they have a child, 10 points for old but no BB

Shitting / shagging / peeing- in the cars parked in the spaces or the spaces themselves - 5 points for animal, 10 for human

5 points for other behaviour eg being cold, smoking, eating, reading, unattended child.

3 points for 'unusual find in P and C place' - so could be a police car, ambulance, local hoicopter rescue, pop up garden centre or local radio DJ's car giving out stickers.

OK so Waitrose Wolverhampton is covered. If any of you want to keep your own scores and join in either individually or as a team we will meet and compare notes tomorrow 6.30am.

Be ccarefull out there

for some reason I read that as "I have a blue peter badge" and then pondered as to how that will help.

sashh · 17/05/2012 06:31

Lol yes we can all apply for blue peter badges for our services to P and C places

Fruit shoot! You forgot the fruit shoot to go with the greggs.

Shutupanddrive · 17/05/2012 08:19

If you see them park 'illegally' park behind them, blocking them in and call the
A-team police

PickledFanjoCat · 17/05/2012 14:12

OK well I went to a (small) tescos this morning and there were NO P&C SPACES at all. I sat in the car not knowing what to do! I mean it was clearly too dangerous to embark over the car park with my DS. Even if I could have possibly have managed to get him out of the car!

I saw a few spots of rain and came home.

On the way I shouted swear words out of my car at a few passing pensioners, I mean it has to be their fault. Horrible OLD people.

I cant wait to be old enough to behave badly. Im not sure exactly how old you need to be, but you could always wear a fake head scarf and white wig?

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 17/05/2012 15:08

I'm going to asda after work

Will report back.

And will shout loudly at anyone old, disabled, no children etc as I am a bitch today

Convict224 · 17/05/2012 15:10

I think you definitely should bring a child BUT attach the car seat to the roof rack and use sellotape (I mean sticky backed plastic). If your dc is at school, either make them miss a day's education or um borrow the dog. Actually I will set a challenge here, use the cat. Hint you will need lots of sellotape.

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 17/05/2012 15:13

I am parking in the p&c space even though my teenage DCs are not with me, because I don't care.

Am I not in fact a parent even though my DCs are not with me?
