Letting down the tyres will probably damage the tyre beyond repair, even if
they don't drive on it. Whilst this may cure your problem you may be letting yourself in for a revenge attack. Just not worth it. Noman |

Alan Gauton ) gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying : The notices say the bays are for Blue Badge holders. The Blue Badges have to be displayed in the front of the car. I wish that more supermarkets enforced the rules. Yep, but *intelligently*. My father's currently waiting for both knees to be replaced, and can barely walk, even with two sticks. However, because it's a relatively short-term thing, he can't get a blue badge. He's been threatened with clamping in his local supermarket for parking in the disabled bays, as they are blue-badge only. We've all seen perfectly able-bodied people abusing blue badges, too. Me too - I would also love it if they do that for parents and kids spaces as well. Personally, I wish people would leave their bloody kids at home when they go to the supermarket. It'd make *everybody's* shopping less unpleasant without the whining fractious brats that don't want to be there. I also wish they'd train the little ****s to look and think before slamming car doors open onto other people's cars - but since many adults seem unable to do that themselves... |

how did you know who was disabled and who wasnt? You sound like a
genuine plonker. Christian McArdle: There's a national scheme for disabled badges that indicates which cars are permitted to used disabled spaces. it indicates which cars are able to use blue badge spaces, not disabled spaces. While some do mark their spaces as for badge holders, more often theyre marked as for disabled people. The 2 categories are not the same. Steve Rainbird: Have you never heard of disabled stickers in cars? obviously. else I wouldnt be commenting on this. This confusion between disabled, wheelchair users and blue badge holders is a persistent problem. sme: Surely a blue disability badge would have told him if the car owner was disabled? no, it tells you if the driver has a blue badge. Many disabled do not have those badges. NT |

"David Lang" wrote in message . uk... Hi Zak There is entry no barrier to our car park and the warning notices and (fake) clamping notices on the car park walls are ignored. The fake notices are a good idea, but you need to reinforce them with some psycology. Put up some new, bigger notices that look differenet. The inference is that a new company has taken over. Beg borrow or steal a wheel clamp. I think you can hire them. Or make a mock one from MDF & paint it bright yellow. Fix this to your own car with a big label on the windscreen in yellow/black. Leave in conspicuous position. Repeat next day with neighboors car. It's nice to see a post not suggesting criminal damage. |

I used to park my car tight up behind the offender so he had to find me to get it out. This obviuously only works if you have enough space to do this without encroaching on the highway or someone else's land. You did that in France?
