So my opinion is worth a return ticket on the titanic and now you refer me to the village idiot, pretty classy stuff from what seems to be the worlds biggest busy body.

If you don't like folks replies, probably best not ask the question in the first place rather than resort to personal abuse don't you think.

I do love when someone dishes it out but can’t take it back

Grow a back bone then do one 👌

Fair enough MAYBE having disabled spaces near the entrance, but the same disabled somehow manage around inside the store :confused: .

Parent and child spaces with wide access could be anywhere, no need to be near the entrance, if you're not capable of taking care of your children in a car park, how do you manage when in a town centre or crossing a main road.
More parking spaces near the entrance for us oldies, don't want us to be late for the golf farting about looking for spaces .:ROFLMAO:

What a thoroughly interesting thread, it has rants, valid points, insults and people being hugely overly sensitive about a parking space.

The woman parked in a space designed for a family, yet I can't work out it the OP is more annoyed at his wife being spoken to in a bad manner or the at the parking space. From all the subsequent rants, insults and dismissing of others opinions I'm assuming it's less about the wife and more about PC parking spaces, which when you consider it in grand scheme of things it's pretty bloody trivial, especially when you consider the van driver didn't actually commit any crime, break any rules all they did really by parking there was show a little less courtesy than others.

Imo PC spaces don't need to exist, yes they're a little wider in some cases but not all, my local asda their normal size spaces just closer to the doors. As a parent simply find a space somewhere in a car park you deem suitable and then take the necessary care to get the child from the car and take responsibility and care for them to get to shop safely as you would in any other situation

Wider parking spaces in general need to exist. Modern cars, suvs, vans, pickup trucks etc do not fit comfortably in standard spaces, even 2 door cars struggle. Local sainsburys has wider bays, suddenly no need for parent and child spaces. They still exist but are normally empty.

I think that we can all agree that the only thing this thread proves beyond any doubt whatsoever is that some people are just pointless, mouth breathing, stick chasing dicks (you can work out for yourselves who they are).

FWIW, if they designate spaces for P&C (which were a godsend when I was out shopping with 2 very young kids), disabled,pensioners, fat people etc, then I'll just park somewhere else. It's not rocket science.

Got a reply this morning off the people who own the shopping centre

Hi Paul we’re so sorry to hear about this. We will speak to our tenant to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Thank you, The Brewery Team.

Is it really that much of an issue it's not difficult to get kids in and out a car in a normal space. If there is a free p&c space great use it if not big deal get on with you're day without stressing out about it!

Indeed, Bob would you have a word with someone parking in the captains bay when he’s not there?

No, it's none of my business.
However, about 30 years ago someone had a go at me for parking in the captains parking space.
He felt a bit silly when I explained that the Captain was my dad and I was taking him home.
2 sides to every story.
I just hope that lady who was just trying to make a living doesn't lose her license/job/livelihood and that of her staff just because you couldn't get your special parking space.

I thought they were called Parent & Child spaces rather than Baby spaces?

I have to admit to parking in one some years back just to noise my mum up. She was a tad embarrassed but at that time there was a sign up saying they were parent & child spaces so technically I wasn't breaking any rules...

She’s your parent your her child!
I wonder if there is an age limit.

In my barbers it was £10 for cut dad and lad .
A guy turned up with his 60yr old dad he was about 40 ish the barber just laughed.

Had one with our Secretary, guy asked him a question on the course his answer was “ I am the secretary 9/5 mon to fri.” Come see me then”.
So the next Saturday he parked in his parking space.
