I am a child (according to Mrs TheBoy), so can I use them as well?

You got a Tesco Metro then, rather than the wide aisles in the standard Tesco?   :D

I have a habit of parking furthest away from any other car when in carparks and it really pisses me off when I come back to find a car parked either side of me and shite loads of spaces scattered about, so my car tends to get a little punishment when in sainsburys or asda and places like that.

Once I parked in an empty car park - came back 10 minutes later to find a WV parked next to me - and close as well.

Only time I have smashed a door open into another vehicle - I got quite a big dent in their side so I could get my daughter in her child seat.

They could have parked in any of another 200 spots, about 3 or 4 total in use.

Parent and child when out with the littleun, nice big spaces.

Failing that any big enough space, if choice I park next to someone who obviosuly looks after their car.
No guarantee I know, but any small odds increase will do me.

At our Sainsbury's I have no choice but to park wherever I can find a bloody space!! Damn place is always so busy you'd think there was a food shortage going on. :o It's even worse in the lead up to Christmas, you'd think the shops were going to be closed for a month, not 1 day!! >:(

........and I get really pissed off when I see perfectly healthy people in expensive cars parking in the disabled bays 'cos they're too rather lazy to find a normal space. Just because they've got a few quid, they think they can do what they like and get away with it......grrrrrr >:(

That's it.......I'm getting off my soapbox now.  :-X ;D

Usually parent and toddler spaces for me assuming that they haven't all been taken up by stupid blind old biddies who think that they can park where they like,but make a terrible fuss if you use one of their disabled bays (actually got one old dear to move her car to a disabled bay the other day after she parked in one of "my" spaces - it's not like they dont get more spaces than we do) Or parents with a car load of 10 year olds - Q? if i take my retired parents shopping does that entitle me to use the parent spaces?
Agree with the lonly car parking scenario - parked at the far end of the empty car park once over 2 bays as had the kids, came back to find some pillock had parked dead tight alongside my car.  There is no helping them.
