I always give them a hug before taking the Husqvarna to them. Best way of checking out the canopy to see which way it will want to fall and whether it's likely to get hung up. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Ocado is the way to go, they even have green delivery slots.
What's a 'green' delivery slot?
It means that they already have a van in your area at that time, so they use less fuel.As you slide down the banister of life
may no splinters point your way

Was it me? If it was the outlet centre, parked at the far end of the car park, then it may have been. I follow CY's approach mentioned earlier - as long as there are loads of spaces around, I park miles away from anyone, straddling two bays.

"2 worst things?" Really? If one of those was the worst that happened, then it's not so bad is it? 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

I hate disabled spaces , if they can drive to the store what is wrong with walking a few yards .
and too many of them think it is thair god given right to park in THAT PLACE , Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

After laning the other day and the reccie of Hogmoor I went to M&S at Camberley in the afternoon. It was packed and managed to squeeze into a space, my filthy car was then jacked up on off road height.
Came back 1 hour later and the car park was still rammed......... BUT no cars beside mine!

Sorry but you are very very wrong. Trust me. I care for my mother who is only in her early 50's but has been struck down with a terminal and very disabling auto immune disease. She has gone from being in fine health to requiring oxygen to be taken everywhere. Her capacity to walk is limited to a very few yards.
Without disabled parking spaces it would be impossible for her to go ANYWHERE. You want to deny seriously ill and terminally ill people the opportunity to leave the house? Remember one day this could be you.

sorry , it is the attitude of most of them that i was trying to refer too
just happened to follow a guy around , who had been ranting outside the store about having to park in the last disabled space , then walked around for 45mins ,Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

I must admit I always park in the mother and toddler bay outside the supermarket and I have no children, well not that I know anyway.
It's normally at 1 am on my way home from London though
