It's rather funny the way so many complain of disabled parking spaces in a
supermarket car park not being fully used. Or the possibility of someone
using one who perhaps doesn't really need it 100%.

Even at my vast age, I park at the far end of the carpark to leave the
spaces near the entrance free for those youngsters who have seems to have
problems walking a few hundred yards. And like to fight over the closest
space. Perhaps they drive the short distance to the gym too.
