    Most "disabled" badge holders are not "disabled", they are just old. Sorry and all that, but in my book that confers no special privileges upon them. If it takes them longer to walk a bit further then tough sh1t. They've got all bloody day anyway!
    As far as I am concerned, supermarket car parks should simply operate a first come first served basis. Fairest way. If that bothers people with lots of kids, leave the little fookers at home or get up a bit earlier to avoid the queues. Simples!!

      I think the supermarkets are missing a trick here. clogging up the aisles and checkout with the old, infirm and those screaming kids.

      They should open 'Fit-Only' supermarkets, for those who can get in and out and around in double quick order.

      You dont get points for how much you spend, you get points based on how quick you are.

      Instead of stuffing the checkouts with rubbishy pester power products like sweets , chocolate and anusol, they could target people like me , with carlsberg, kleenex and pistachio nuts.

            Try going to a 24 hour super market during the early hours of the morning when the night shift are replenishing the shelves and leaving stock literally all over the shop.
            Then you'll see that although they don't have a special supermarket for the fit, they do have the reserved opening times.

              I suppose we just have a greater moral code up here.

                I've often thought it would pay to do a Tuesday morning pensioners special - extra help for the old folk and keeps them out the way of those in a rush. They could operate a similar system for the parking spaces - 'parent/baby' spaces from 9-5, the rest of the time it's a free for all.

                  We reached that stage at post number 40 in this thread. If you can't take it, don't make pathetic attempts to dish it out.
