...and they cannot be expected to have purchased their lunch before they started their shift, nor reverse in so they can really get out quicker if they need to, nor have one go in while the other waits outside in the car.
Or not obscure a crossing ...
It would certainly remove one more space that the other deranged knobbers, with absolutely no reason to be parking there at all - could use.
Win-Win.

Could combine it with my petition for them to repaint the wording in their drop off bays with "Drop off point only. Yes, dropping off. As in not parking whilst you go and do your weekly shop (and take your own sweet f$%^ing time about it). There might be someone who actually needs the space for what it was designed for." I'll admit quite a lot of supermarkets would need to extend their drop off bays...
Tesco car park, I’m looking for a mother (dad) and child spot near the shop, 3 year old is ok she can jump out, I like a wider spot for the baby with pram though etc.
Two fat (is this politically correct) people, a man and woman park in an available mother and child place and slowly, in a fat waddle way (that left and right exaggerated lean thing that fat people do) slope off to the shop.
Seriously, park away at the furthest point and walk more!
Hang on, is this bad parking or Knob thread?

Prepare for the usual suspects to tell you that they probably have more right to them than you do. After all its not their fault they are both fat and feckless.Two fat (is this politically correct) people, a man and woman park in an available mother and child place and slowly, in a fat waddle way (that left and right exaggerated lean thing that fat people do) slope off to the shop.

Also, that you should not be taking your kids shopping during daylight hours etc. etc..

Would be a pity if his scooter was to scratch a few of those vehicles, serve them right if he did. I believe it is illegal to park on the pavement in London, (think its in the HC somewhere), why not just enforce it country wide and be done with it.Vipers said:

244You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London, and should not do so elsewhere unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs.

BBC article said:
The police say it is the responsibility of councils to deal with vehicles parked on pavements, and it is only illegal if there is a 'dangerous obstruction on the public highway'.
...and forcing physically disabled, visually impaired, elderly and very young (ie: in buggies) road users (aka: vulnerable road users ) off the footway and into live traffic lanes on the carriageway is somehow not dangerous? WT actual F????FWIW, I understood the law stated that it was illegal to "obstruct the highway". No mention of "dangerous". This seems to be yet another case of the authorities all passing the buck, with their naturally slopey shoulders allowing all responsibility to run off. Cars parked on 'pavements' are, by definition, obstructing the highway. It should therefore be a police matter to charge drivers/RKers with the offence of wilful obstruction. Either that, or give councils the power to tow/lift obstructing vehicles, or better still, take the parking issue out of the target/profit driven LA hands, re-criminalise it, reinstate the "Yellow Peril" and get them out on patrol, not necessarily issuing fines, but moving illegally parked Muppets along to keep things moving safely on the roads. And introduce a system of strict liability, which would ensure that any pedestrian making legitimate use of the footway could NEVER be held responsible for damage caused by them squeezing past badly parked twunt-mobiles. Personally, I'd permanently confiscate the car of anyone parking like a twunt. To be crushed or auctioned off, value dependant. Other than to cross a footway to get my car from the carriageway to my driveway or other legitimate adjacent property, I don't think I've EVER put my wheels onto the footway. If the road is too narrow, I'll park further away and walk. There's simply no need for pavement parking, IMHO.
