Random Irritations

The A2/M2 junction at Canterbury, yet again closed with no forewarning so when you getting you have to detour 30mins so you can drive back home toward Maidstone

That's done simply to stop the Maidstone oiks from shoplifting everything from Primark in Canterbury 😂😂

I thought it was because they couldnt get into Ashford because of the caravans and cant get over the Medway into St Rood because of the huge delays as the council once again alter the road lay-out....:oops:
 
The fat woman who parked so close to my car she struggled to get out without whacking her door into mine. She didn't, but it was close, and she had no idea how close.

Top tip, in an otherwise empty car park, park somewhere where you can open the door.

Park as far as you can away form the entrances.......stops those inconserates who have no care for your car:)
 
There should be parking bays for fat people right at the far end of the car park for two reasons;
1. They'd be shedding a few calories whilst having to waddle to the shop.
2. It'd give them time to finish scoffing their cakes before getting to their car, leaving them to be able to concentrate on their driving.
Win, win. (y)

Ive often thought that parent bays could be relocated. As long as it’s a clear walk to the shop from them, I don’t see the need for them to be right by the door. It would also mean they’d more than likely be available to those that need them.

You want young kids walking the shortest distance possible in a car park so they don't get run over. Either going in or at the end when bored, kids and car parks are not a good mix.

My local Asda has then off to the side. Nit as close as the disabled or parent bays at other supermarkets. The children don’t have to cross any part of the car park at all as it’s straight out of the car and onto a pavement. Leaving space out front for disabled.

If the children are tiny, then they go in a buggy or trolley. If they’re old eniugh to be walking, then sensible parental supervision will not have them near any danger as they don’t actual go near a car park as such.

Most supermarkets have parent bays where the green markings are. Some of those are further from the store and involve the car park much more than I would suggest. The blue is where they are at Asda.

Also, pro's taking their jacket off to play the shot, and then putting it back on, JR and EP particularly. Not a good advert for their clothing sponsor. Might as well wear a Sou Wester, and have done with it.

That sounds like a very good design. The supermarkets near to me don't have that, you have to walk across car park traffic and along it in parts in marked areas but not clear pavements.

In an ideal world sensible parental supervision would be enough but if the child is too big for the trolley and the trolley is full, requiring two hands pushing then you are relying on the, likely bored, child walking along correctly. Yes, that should happen but it only needs them to step away for a moment and the potential for danger is there.

However, if they were designed as you have described then there is minimal danger and I would agree with what you have said (y).
