It's funny how there are far fewer disabled spaces in car parks where you have to pay, especially if they're council run. Do they pluck the ratio out of the air when granting planning permission for supermarkets?

I don't think it's much of a problem the further you get away from the South East, people are generally less selfish in other parts of the country.

I keep meaning to get some business cards made that I can slip under people's wipers on those annoying occasions when i'm boxed in and have to get in through the boot.

Learn to ******* park you ******

Is the appropriate message I think.

women should be excluded from this as they tend to abandon their cars rather than park them

[TheBigD]

I must admit to parking in the parent & child bays at the supermarket to save the doors on my Merc getting pinged (but only when the store is quiet late in the evening and the little blighters should be tucked up in bed)

This I don't like.

However, I wish suprtmarkets would put at least some of the parent and child bays at the furthest end of the car park. Would go some way to prevent them being abused. I don't care about the distance to the store, but need to be able to fully open the doors to get the child seats out.

Conservative Central Office have been in touch. They're worried that their core message is being diluted by those of you trying to express your opinions in your own words, so they'd like you to click on "Edit Post" and cut-and-paste the following text in:

I'm a selfish, arrogant, lazy bastard who would delight in screwing over those less able than I to save myself the trouble of walking fifteen yards

and that way everything will be clear

I was going to post a "learn to fecking park" response but having some time on my hands I've had a dig around.

You're probably right that an ordinary space is a little to tight for a 4x4 but you still don't have to take a disabled space - just take up two ordinary spaces at the further part of the car park.

Everyone with a decent car in London takes up two parking spaces.

It's stops f*ckers parking right next to you in an empty car park.

However it still doesn't stop stupid people reversing into your car.

Oh and people who take up disabled parking spaces should

[Sysman]

Nope. Actually Mr. Registered Disabled who can never get a parking space due to ******* arrogant idiots who feel they have the right to do what they want because they feel superior to everyone else. Probably a Champagne Socialist

FTFY

[vetran]

they need to adjust the ratio in some car parks there are too many disabled spaces that sit empty all the time.

They also should employ traffic wardens on bonuses to police them, £200 fee for parking in a disabled space seems about right to me, plus clamping and tow away.


Liz Jones is disabled its a mental disability lets hope she gets sectioned.

[NotAllThere]

Sorry for a Wail link, but what a stupid arrogant bitch who needs to be given a strict putting down

Pain meds been reduced again?

[quackhandle]

One of the NCP parks in Liverpool has a few spaces that combine disabled or parent/child. Which I thought was at least some common sense applied.

SWMBO has a blue badge. It goes with the chronic rheumatoid arthiritis and the various side effects of the medication that keeps her just about mobile. She can drive perfectly well, but can only walk around 20 yards without pain. She also can't get out of a car door that is only partially open.

You don't need a wheelchair to warrant close access to shops and offices.

As for Liz Jones, she's a fantasist fashion writer with a sideline in victimology. You don't really suppose she's actually taking the piss out of those who abuse the disabled parking sytem, do you...

Here we go - the self righteous indignation from the horses mouth (Mr arrogant) himself

I am with her. These bays are always empty and if you have a large 4X4 ordinary parking bays are just too narrow

The following are standard space requirements of some typical vehicles.
These may be used as basic minimum reference values but different layouts
such as parallel, herringbone and in-line, have slightly different overall space
requirements and detailed layout of parking spaces will be site specific.

This is about a hypocrisy that is ever increasing. When certain things are done by a 17 year old in a hoody, then it's hell in a handbasket, pikey chav scum, broken britain but when you do it and get picked up on it, then it's PC gone mad, nanny state, elf & safety jobsworth orwellian britain.

It's about a basic lack of manners and common courtesy and it makes me glum.

If the company you want to do business with says something is reserved for someone else. Then don't fucking use it.
If they say we don't want dogs on our premises, leave the fucking mutt outside

If the person representing the company operating the plane tells you to turn your phone off. Turn it the fuck off. Don't just turn it over when the flight attendant walks past then carry on texting.
If you go to the cinema, put your twatting phone on silent.
If you cannot move your hand luggage without needing it to have wheels, it ain't fucking hand luggage. Also, One is an easy number to count to.
If you want to get on a train, let the ones who want to get off, off.
If you have finished your cigarette then you dispose of it correctly.
No one else is interested in your phone conversation or listening to your music/video.
Standing in the doorway of the bus to the airplane does not get you home quicker.
Amber and green are not the same colour.
If you are going to cough or sneeze, cover your mouth or nose.
Zebra crossings. Stop for people to cross.
A knife is generally available to cut food in to a bite size quantity, if you are going to just use one hand and a fork to shovel food into your pie hole, get a cake fork and only eat cake.

Finally, don't talk with your mouth full, take your hat/cap off and get your fucking elbows off the table.




Yes, I'm aware of the hypocrisy of circumventing the swear filter. Fuck you.

All that ^^^^^^^^^

PLUS. When eating in public - eat with your bastard mouth CLOSED!!!!!!
