ASDA Parent & Child parking - fine for misuse

[jackthezipper]

I thought parent child bays were glorified parking for jeeps and people who cannot park properly. I tend to park at the far end of the car park where its quiet and people are less likely to hit there door into yours. I currently have a huge scrape from someone hitting there door off mine. And as someone above mentioned it looks like a child has kicked it as hard as they could. Since it's a car park either and they can get away with it no one is kind enough to leave any details.

because time together as a family unit is the most important thing in my life.

In Tesco?

Has it not occured to you that if you went on your own you'd get the shopping done in half the time and be at home quicker to spend PROPER time with your child?

Now when I am forced to not park in the parent and child space I usually try to find a nice BMW parked alone in a far corner, park close to it then bash it with my door whilst securing my child

Nice retort. I never park in parent and baby spaces though so shame it's irrelevent

You take your kids to a pub?

Thats a bit like me taking my ghetto blaster to your relaxing gym session. Unsuited.

Kids need to eat too you know. Why does your ghetto blaster need to be at the gym?

You need to try more PUBLIC houses.
I regularly go out for cavary lunches in <shock> a pub.

Sorry, but having kids should not give you any rights above somebody without kids, especially when those without are paying higher taxes to help pay for a large majority of the little "loves"!!!

What makes you think you pay more in tax than a parent? Parents certainly get some tax breaks, but that doesn't automatically mean they are paying less into the system than a single parent.

I go to pubs quite often. It's annoying to have a kid screaming on the table beside you, though. I'm often trying to have a relaxing lunch with some friends. Pubs are places for over 18's to relax. Perhaps you should take your kids to a Brewers Fayre

So tell me SB118, why do you need to take your children to the supermarket with you? no one (apart from johnycoupe) has yet given me a valid reason why apart from "We're parents, our kids are great and it's our god given right to take them to a supermarket, pub or wherever we want!".

It's a family thing. My kids LIKE shopping (they're both girls, go figure), we go to the supermarket, they point out things they like and we can also pick out new clothes for them (they grow every few minutes so they get through stuff fairly quickly ) I love spending time with my kids, it's genetic. It's daft to say it, but you don't understand the connection until you have your own. You don't spend time with your kids because you have too, you don't choose how much you want them around, being away from them feels wrong (to me anyway, my youngest spent a night at the mother-in-laws last week and i had trouble sleeping as i couldn't hear her snoring)

Don't take mine to the pub, i don't drink, never understood why you'd take your sprogs to somewhere like that tbh.

The "god given" comment makes me think that you see it as we take our kids with us just to annoy you.

I am not talking about my Friday evening drinking session in a trendy wine bar!

I mean for Sunday lunch in a Chef & Brewer or similar chain.

 

[UKDTweak]

Why should you get tax breaks, if you decide to buy a sports car, you automatically pay more tax and insurance, how come this is the opposite for children??

I see, so becuase I dislike pubs with kids in, I'm neive. Rightyo.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

If he went to a decent gym he'd find more than satisfactory audio systems AND TV's to not take a ghettoblaster in either.

Because you seen a different BMW take a parent and child space and decide they are all (rhyms with runts) and deserve it. I never park in parent child bays or disabled spaces but I would be the one "parked alone" that you would decide to park next to and be a complete (ryhms with rock).

Ah. I wouldnt really call them pubs (Although I guess technically they are), more family restaurants. But they have big signs outside saying 'Family pub' and playgrounds and stuff so any non parents can quite easily see there is likely to be lots of kids inside.

When you pop to your local Whetherspoons for a nice lunch, though, screaming kids are not appreciated.

 

[Dogbreath]

Pubs are places for over 18's to relax.

That would depend entirely on the particular pub. If you happen to frequent a family friendly pub, then you really shouldn't be too surprised to see families there.

 

[HEADRAT]

Blimey if our local pub didn't have family trade it would go out of business

I always find giving the kids a couple of pints before going to the supermaket only hightens their car denting/crying, puking etc. abilities!

I don't like know-it-all jumped up little twits in pubs, but they still go.

 

[v0n]

They go in front of the supermarket so
- there is less chance of child running in front of car

Parents responsability. I don't remember too many of my childhood friends run over by cars in supermarkets, there must be some way of doing it....

- child has to walk less (which is a bonus when you are just learning)

Why would you want your kid to learn how to walk in a place where people run around with trolleys?

Modern child seats needs doors open wide to get them in (0-1 years)

Toddlers. We are now taking toddlers shopping?

All I see is supermarket apparently fixing really sloppy parenting. Which insisting that shopping is some kind of family attraction is part of really.

Nah, he's having a go at me becuase he's unable to comprehend that it's possible to have an opinion yet not act on it. I think P&C spaces are stupid, but that doesn't mean I'll park in them in exactly the same way that I think some of the 40 limits round here are stupid but won't hammer down them at 60.

Its annoying to have an American gobmouth next to you, or a wideboy essex lad. They are versions of humans, and screamiing children are simply a state of a child and not the norm. Do you think parents like thir kids screaming?

Perhaps Ill just do what i want? Happy in the fact teen doesnt form part of my age.
