Disabled/children parking; referring to supermarkets. Sorry, should have specified. Yes, council enforced disabled bays are for blud badge holders. Supermarkets have no rights (as far as im aware) on enforcing the blue badges.

...sorry, missed this?
Supermarkets can and will impose fines if you don't display a blue badge. They're non enforceable, but lots of people don't like legal battles with private parking companies, and pay the fines.
It's more a matter of morals.
As for people with no kids parking in the parent and toddler spaces (note: they aren't parent and child. No your 14 year old doesn't count as a child) they soon find a new trolley dent accidentally appearing on their lovely spanking car.
And yes there is a difference, disabled toilets are, 99% of the time, unoccupied. You can see them coming a mile off, so dash in, do your business and dash out. A parking space can be occupied for hours, you're hardly going to form an orderly queue outside it are you?
As for parking dents.. maybe if you lazy f*ckers parked in the proper spaces instead of the ones put in place in consideration of people using car seats, you wouldn't get dents from people trying to get their two year old in their car seat in a narrow space...
