Yes it would be a little controversial to re-paint the P&T signs, with 'dogging' signs...but with a little understanding it should work.....

couldn't possibly go doggin in a mother and baby space

notsogummyanymore · 08/05/2007 17:59

is this something that you're particularly fond of?

Bananaknickers · 08/05/2007 18:00

what if my frozen stuff melted and the parsnips wilted

fryalot · 08/05/2007 18:00

would it not make more sense to make the dogging spaces a bit further away from the doors..... you wouldn't want to shock the little old ladies, or confuse the little old men taking their jack russels for a walk

MrMariella · 08/05/2007 18:01

No,..just being thoughtful and democratic AND it would end the M&T v disabled users debate......unless the doggers....Hmmmm

hmm, give it a tad more thought, then we'll raise a petition and put it to tescos

saintmaybe · 08/05/2007 18:06

And don't you just know the bloody disableds would take all the spaces, just for their own selfish convenience

I don't know. Is there a high correlation??

I certainly think it's worth pursuing, though.

squonk's idea is a good one - you also need to make sure that there is sufficient space around the car for would be doggers to spectate (I am not sure what the etiquette here is). Having the spots futher away should cater to this as well as not shocking the old ladies.

pointydog · 08/05/2007 18:10

well, it's the feeling of doing the forbidden that makes it so delectable.

Allocated spaces would ruin that.

MrMariella · 08/05/2007 18:11

Well, that's it sobernow..there would be no arguments, just a lot of people quietly enjoying themselves.

"celebrity openings"

sounds repulsive, fio

whomovedmychocolate · 08/05/2007 18:14

The spaces would quickly be filled by confused dog owners encouraging their dogs to crap on the pavement.

manictreecreature · 08/05/2007 18:15

And they'll need to provide some of that blue roll for drying off, erm, seats...

pointydog · 08/05/2007 18:15

har, mariella - quite like pointydogger. SHould use that for my name at Valentines

MrMariella · 08/05/2007 18:15

Yes FIOFIO, though I understand that Stan Collymore has already had his celebrity opened in these circumstances....

Top of my personal hit list for sleazy revalation is that Jonathan Edwards triple jumper bloke. R-r-r-ripe for it.....way too squeaky....

whomovedmychocolate · 08/05/2007 18:15

I do hope as well that you are going to encourage them to provide 'dogging friendly trolleys'

pointydog · 08/05/2007 18:16

what would that consist of, choco;late? Larger gaps in the metal to peep out of?
