To think that P&C spaces in supermarket car parks

AIBU to think that where there is a pedestrian pavement down the middle of a supermarket car park, it would make far more sense to have the parent and child parking in a well lit area further away from the entrance. This would mean that the spaces would not get clogged up by drivers without children too lazy to find a space, and in some car parks could be in an area with less traffic.

another winky!

Thanks Ziggie, valiant common sense talking but I don't think they can hear you over their fictional corkscrews Grin

curiousgeorgie · 20/02/2014 19:27

Yes Madame! And as it excited you So... Here's another Wink

You're welcome!

MadameDefarge · 20/02/2014 19:28

ziggie. it might just possibly be that several posters and lurkers have reached the end of their curiousgeorge tolerance level...

fair enough. Don't put it out there if you can't take it back.

How are they not?! There's a little boy by me who is running a newspaper petition to try and get a blue badge; he has a serious disease and the council won't give him one because they say it's not permanent in nature. I see on here people not being able to get them and truly deserving them. Whereas people like my dad who is totally fine 99% of the time even though he has a lifelong condition, gets offered one. That's rubbish.

Maryz... Maybe read carefully because this is boring and I've got to our my DD to bed!

I stand by my posts.

Boney (or whatever the name) shouldn't be parking in a P&C space with no children, and no blue badge.

If someone attacks me saying I shouldn't have children, I'm going to attack back.

This thread is about PARKING.

of that fucking winky thing. Does the woman not actually know what it means?

SauvignonBlanche · 20/02/2014 19:34

Madame, you deserve the Sauvignon Blanc, I've opened a very nice Marlborough (from Aldi).

IamInvisible · 20/02/2014 19:34

Your disability doesn't have to be permanent to get a Blue badge.

curiousgeorgie · 20/02/2014 19:34

Great! Grin

Brb..

And Madam... I am a fantastic mother.

I know, it's annoying isn't it?
I do love red, don't get me wrong but I'm on the white tonight.

ziggiestardust · 20/02/2014 19:43

Maryz - because I said Boney shouldn't park in a P&C space because she had no blue badge, no child and a sore knee?

This comment? Well when DH injured himself (badly) we didn't park in p&c because the sign said only park there if you have children under 12. We didn't have a DC then. We obviously couldn't park in disabled. The rules are there for a reason. Georgie said she should get a blue badge if she was disabled (echoing the suggestion that Georgie do that for her own DD), but the poster in question had just injured herself.

Rules are rules. Park in p&c by all means but you'd be liable for a fine.

ziggiestardust · 20/02/2014 19:44

I do think if you are disabled and there are no spaces left then you should be able to park in p&c with your badge, but I don't know where you stand if you're injured. If it's that limiting, it begs the question whether you should be driving in the first place.
