I THINK I AM JUST HORMONAL.

Don't ever read them and don't post on them.
People don't seem to ever change.
Although they can be very educational

AitchTwoOh · 04/03/2007 11:29

not unreasonable. it's a stupid argument, i can't believe people can even begin to construct a case for why someone with children needs a space more...

VioletBaudelaire · 04/03/2007 11:29

I have now parped myself from the whole subject.
It makes me so .

SherlockLGJ · 04/03/2007 11:30

DR how do you know they are educational if you don't read them.

tiredemma · 04/03/2007 11:30

No, they wind me up also.

Having a child does not give you a legal right to have your bumper pressed against tescos window.

WanderingTrolley · 04/03/2007 11:31

For years I have managed to get children from a car to a buggy to a shop without any of us getting hurt, mashed or squished.

It takes very little skill.

It is a car park, not Beirut ffs. You are going shopping, not skirting death.

I don't get peed orf with p&t threads but I really don't get the tirade of ire P&T parking space ettiquette creates.

REad one, learn from it, ignore the rest, they are mostly the same
pandt spaces are not a right, they are convenience

DarrellRivers · 04/03/2007 11:32

forgot

theslownorris · 04/03/2007 11:50

I am so laid back but the latest one has got me going. Life's too short to worry about something so trivial and unneccessary. I agree,DR, I'm never reading one again

DarrellRivers · 04/03/2007 11:51

Run everyone over I say

onlyjoking9329 · 04/03/2007 11:53

i must have missed a new thread, probably saying the same thing as the previous million threads on the very same subject

fairyfly · 04/03/2007 11:55

I have no desire to be close to the supermarket, I would be more than happy to walk from one end of a car park to the other for P&C parking. The only thing I prefer is the width of the space. Trying to squeeze children out of a largish car in an average size car space can be problematic to say the least. So therefore it does irratate me when builders etc park in P&C parking. Also in our local supermarket the P&C parking is closer to the store than the disabled??? Figure that out....

LadyOfTheFlowers · 04/03/2007 21:20

thats all i said luceymay and am getting trashed for it!
nevermind.

DontlookatmeImshy · 04/03/2007 21:26

I think the underlying problem is that it's not that parents NEED parking spaces so much as the inconsiderate me-me-me attitude prevelant in todays society of people who park in these spaces just because they're too selfish/lazy etc to walk a few extra yards that makes people so irate about the whole thing.
