    I suppose it would have to be at the far end of the car park.
    They already have. They just pop into the disabled or parent and child spaces

Big cars should pay more in parking fees, banned or perhaps the owners executed. 4x4's should at the very least be road taxed heavily since you can't see what's ahead of them making life more dangerous for pedestrians and other road users

    My sister has worked at ICI for years - not in IT. She lives out in the Chalfonts and never goes into Slough town centre (except in a group) so she quite likes it!

    These companies are taking the p*ss on parking. At the end of the day, if I take my custom somewhere they don't tell me how I use their service, for I am the customer.

    There is a culture in England of worrying about parking & telling the motorist what to do all the time - I say, stuff 'em & for a months value in shopping vouchers.

    For Wilsmow's 666th post, it was most disappointing on a biblical scale.
