Taken from another forum.
I am questioning the legitimacy of the photo (photoshop maybe?), although I dont think its beyond them to try and enforce something like this. Bloody rediculous either way, if its enforced at my local asda il be parking there over the weekend, across 2 spaces, letting my engine idle for hours on end, while sitting in my car having a sleep
Seriously, what a joke....... :?

^^ if thats true then its a load of un-fair, un realistic shite, but then I park at the back of the carpark with a space on either side at supermarkets anyway, people seem to loose all ability to drive in supermarket car parks I find so I doubt that it will bother me much! ROFL

I'll just park there, I usually park in the parent and child places anyway so who seriously gives a flying f**k if they do? It's not like they fine or clamp you is it?

LOL Mark, I usually do the same and end up with a whinging Hannah, "why have we parked so far away", or "look how far we've gotta walk" But it beats having some tool using your paintwork as a measure of their door being 'open'.

I don't really see how there going to enforce that.
Technically they can't even give you a parking ticket and that's why I never worry about going over the 2hours free stay or what ever. Never have to pay it!

Best one was when we came back to the car and some lass says to me "you don't have a child with you? That is so inconsiderate!!!". Gen just shouted "oh f**k, we left the kid at the checkout!!!" and ran back inside at full tilt! I nearly died of laughter, the look on the lasses face was EPIC!

Hasn't stopped some moron using my rear 1/4 as a guide into the space next to me though! :evil:

il give a £5 to the first person to get a video of them smoking that sign with a dt or hdi and writing no smoke no poke in the soot
should be a challenge seeing how high the sign is and the pole doesn't count.

I do this too The spaces are wide enough that as long a people are parked straight they cant actually door your car.
If anyone ever says anything ill tell them that Ive just met "my childs mother" and given her the child or that im going to pick child up.

But they never do....usually diagonally across the hatchings too!
I never park in P&C or disabled spaces though, I'm not that much of a rebel!! I'd rather squeeze in next to a badly parked cock and watch them try and get bck in their car.........good thing with a silver golf is that doesnt ding as easy as the pugs.....and i couldnt give a shit if anyone dings it anyway haha! :p

Parking in a parent child space is a bit nobish, but oh well, i dont have a kid so cant complain. Its the people that park in disabled bays that really get on my wick. Not the disabled people, they're allowed to (obv) but the people who just get out and stroll off with no blue badge on the dash at all.

Really pisses me off when I have to squeeze in some tiny space and get the wee man out the back of the motor when people without kids are hogging the P&C spaces. One of my many pet hates with society. My trolley has accidentally clipped a few people's cars in P&C spaces. Purely accidentally of course..

Don't worry Chris, mine's found its way into other cars when I park in the loneliest space 1 mile from the shops and some twat parks IN my space with my car. Completely by accident of course

That's always the way isn't it, I park miles away as well with at least a space either side. You can guarantee some bastard has parked next to me when I come out. But then I think they must assume that it's the designated cool section
