Reply to: Disabled? Parent with Child? Good Luck Parking at the Supermarket.

Anyway Epi, unless you intend to top yourself soon, you should be glad that some of us are able to breed.
You wouldn't expect much from ShaunBhoy's progeny, for example, but they'll be perfectly capable of wiping your bum in the old peoples' home.

Ho ho. Says the man whose Family have yet to fully discover the intricacies of Sexual Intercourse, having sustained the bloodline (such as it is) thus far by raiding Warthog litters!

Ah we've reached the insults and jibes part have we.

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.

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'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.

it's been banned in scotland for sometime...from what I've seen, they seem to be coping OK

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

[Spacecadet]

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

I carry my phone in my pocket for a good reason.

Presumably to give the illusion that you actually have a c0ck?

[Pondlife]

You been watching supermarket sweep again EO?

[EternalOptimist]

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

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.

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!!

[sasguru]

Actually. You started the jibes.

HTH.

True.
Anyway Epi, don't forget your local Tesco Metro have a BOGOF offer on Pot Noodles today. And as they don't have family parking, you won't feel out of place, as it will be full of smelly single IT types like you with sandals, no social skills and a BO problem.

Ah we've reached the insults and jibes part have we. Woe betide anyone who disagrees with a parent eh.

HTH.

[MaryPoppins]

You mean the annoying types that send those bloody roundrobin messages every christmas?

Yeah, those tossers.

A friend of mine started a rant the other day about being turned away with her pram, from a pub in Chester.

I told her I wasn't sure what her gripe was, as surely unless a specified 'family' pub <shudder>, pubs aren't meant for kids. She wasn't impressed.

Nah you just have a singleton chip on your shoulder.
Methinks thou protesteth too much.

[Mich the Tester]

Perhaps his friends have all had kids and become those annoying types that think their sprogs are in fact, the centre of the universe.

"Young Olly's loving prep school, playing in the 1st XV for rugger and studying hard for his Common Entrance; he plans to do work experience at Kleinberg Wartstein in the summer to find out more about a career in merchant banking. Meanwhile, Arabella's just started her GCSEs and she knows she'll have to study very hard to achieve her goal of reading Media at the University of Grimsby bla bla bla etc"?

I've considered sending them back in an envelope full of vomit, but I shouldn't lower myself to that.
