The Pub has since deleted Facebook & Twitter accounts but the Trip Advisor & the like are still live.

No, you wouldn't. It is called 'criminal damage'.
Exactly, not defending the inconsiderate parking, but deliberately damaging others cars is unacceptable. Walking across would cause scratches, dents, ect. Nothing criminal in that.
Re pub carpark disabled bay parking
I cant believe any normal person would defend this type of parking in any way , It is irrelevant the type or value of the car in question ,the driver is a moron ,
and if the report is correct so is the pub landlord , hence my call for naming and shaming
Even though the disabled bays have no legal standing and “could” be ignored , common curtsey would dictate that an able bodied person would not park so as not to deprive a lesser able person of the space to get out of a car , the main point is SPACE , wider bays are marked out to give less able persons room to get in and out of a car .
This greedy moron has not only parked in a disabled bay but in fact parked across two bays .and shows a complete lack of compassion to any person who has a disability, and puts the value of his car above any thing else
THERE IS NO DEFENCE OR EXCUSE FOR THIS TYPE OF PARKING (shouting finished )

I 100% agree, you can argue all you want at every angle or viewpoint, the owner of that Ferrari really is an aroganant pr1ck.I cant believe any normal person would defend this type of parking in any way , It is irrelevant the type or value of the car in question ,the driver is a moron ,

How people can even try to defend him is beyond me.
The landlord is a prick too
On the Ferrari in the disabled bay fracas...
Without in any way defending the Ferrari driver, it's worth pointing out that disabled bays* are not technically for use by anyone who might need them (wheelchair, crutch users etc) to get in and out more easily - they're supposed to be for people who have a disabled badge...
This point was made when my mum, years ago, got a ticket in Slough for parking in a disabled bay with my very clearly disabled & wheelchair-bound sister in the car. But she didn't have an orange badge (as they were at the time) so appealing to the parking attendant on returning to the car was no good - no badge, she got a ticket.
Also, if ranting reviews from Tripadvisor/Yelp etc tell you anything, it's often that there are two sides to every story. What if the Fezza driver was parked like a knobber, but the driver who wrote the review gave him a load of lip and demanded he move, at which point the landlord butted in and told him to do one...? What if the F driver would have been happy to move his car, but chose not to, based on the attitude of the reviewer?

- of course, assuming the pub has a private car park, the rules are probably up to the landlord to decide anyway...

Why dont we all take this as said on the original post, and stop picking holes in it, and/or justify the driver parking his posh car in a disabled bay, forget about private car park as well, doesn't common sense say don't park in a disabled bay if your not disabled, and if asked would you mind moving it, then move it.Without in any way defending the Ferrari driver, it's worth pointing out that disabled bays* are not technically for use by anyone who might need them (wheelchair, crutch users etc) to get in and out more easily - they're supposed to be for people who have a disabled badge...

onder what would have happened if both Disabled bays were full with Disabled badged cars parked in them? Would writer of the Trip Advisor post then complain there were not enough spaces?
People need to get over themselves about marked spaces, If that had been me with my mother I would have simply backed car slightly out of bay, unloaded mother and weelchair then reparked car, honestly, is it that hard? Better still pull up by nearest door or pathway to pub, unload mother then go and park car. If a space is being used does it really matter? The pub has the right to Ban anyone it pleases, if the Landlord 'allegedly' said what he said, fair enough, its his rules in a free house.
Hopefully you'll never understand why you are wrong on so many levelsPeople need to get over themselves about marked spaces, If that had been me with my mother I would have simply backed car slightly out of bay, unloaded mother and weelchair then reparked car, honestly, is it that hard?

Ferrari driver and pub landlord are in the wrong. No question.
But, yoi don't have to be actually parked in a bay to unload passengers. Why make a difficult situation worse?
As stated, what if all the disabled bays were in use by blue badge holders, what then?
From personal experience,
If I'm driving (we do drive you know )and there's no empty disabled spaces then well have to go else where as I can't get out.
If I'm not driving then my wife will stop near the entrance and I'll get out there. Unfortunately this takes some time and at least on 2 very memorable times, another driver starting pipping their horn as they (hopefully) didn't understand what was going off. It did put a real dampener on what should have been a happy occasion.
I have to admit that prior to being disabled I didn't understand the full difficulties that ordinary activities involved, so I can't really blame anyone else being ignorant.
Even so, I'd never park in a disabled bay.

...anyway some PUPP's (Pick Up Point Pricks), no one in sight being picked up with their shopping, car park quite empty, even lots of spaces nearer the door. The prick in the BMW, who has managed to get two wheels in the pick up point preventing anyone else using it, and blocking the road to an extent sitting there having a cancer stick.
I (politely) challenged one of these clowns outside the Sainsbury's near Farnham once. His reply? "I'm just picking up. It is a pick up point, after all!"
I must have been in the wrong on that one, then. He was on his own, and what he was 'picking up' was a trolley loaded to the gunwales (gunnels) with enough shopping for a family of four for a fortnight, all neatly loaded into 'Bags for Life'. How foolish I felt...
a) for challenging him when he was obviously using the pick up/drop off zone correctly
b) for stupidly parking my own car in a 'parking space' when I also only wanted to "pick up" a week's shopping.
Silly me!That's what's good about the car park at Asda in Farnborough. It's local council run, and patrolled regularly, with tickets issued. So morons tend to do less of their usual 'park in multiple bays in a single car', 'park in a disabled space without a badge' and 'park for an hour in the ten minute pick up spaces' tricks. The bad part is that you have to pay to park.
