Au contraire. ** You probably won't like this **

Parent and children spaces are wider than normal
parking spaces to enable a pushchair (or trolley) to be put at the side of
the carand the child unstrapped from the seat, loaded into the
pushchair )or trolley) and strapped in again. That's very difficult in a
normal parking space.

Oh dear what a shame, never mind. So leave them at home.

It's even worse if you have more than one young child.

So leave them in someone else's care, or use online shopping then.

The special parking bays aren't necessarily closer to the shop than others

Thay are the same distance at mamy of our supermarkets. Grossly unfair on
the genuinely needy.

nor are they for children who can walk but when they are they do make it
easier for other shoppers because the child laden trolleys or pushchairs
aren't obstructing others.

Apart from up taking spaces that could be provided for the needy.

Brats in car parks make life difficult for everyone as almost without
exception, they are ill mannered, foul mouthed yobs who do not get any form
of discipline when they create havoc. Why should others have to put up with
that?

I'm sure that you will consider this response to be arrogant, uncaring and
unreasonable, however, I am sick of seeing the bone idle causing hardship
for those who are in genuine need by occupying disabled spaces. If people
want to breed, that's fine, but don't inflict the results on others or
expect special treatment.

I'm climbing abourd my soapbox now, but in closing let me stir the waters
with another of my "themes"....

The local newspaper has been full of complaints that Boots the Chemist has
decided to close their "baby changing room". Why on earth should they have
one in the first place? Are they regarded as a charity or something?



Yes OK i'm in a bad mood. :-)
