OT Where to park?

Just make sure your trolley is at the front. Great fun when they reverse into that.

I had some numpty reverse into my car the other side of the driveway!

Seeing as he could hardly deny it (I was stationary and flashing my lights at him because I could see it coming!) he settled in cash for apaint job.

If he couldn't see a bloody big red car, what chance did a kid have? Not an old bloke either.

Is it technically a drink? Certainly not an enjoyable one IMHO...

Local Sainbury's has clearly marked walkways protected by bollards all across the car park - but the mother/baby slots are still next to the doors.

Many new hatchbacks seem to have very poor rear visibility. I was loaned a Civic R type the other day and could hardly see a thing.

[Dave Liquorice]

Don't think I've come across any carpark that has that down the center of every double row of bays. Some have marked walkway areas along the road ways, like a bit of paint on the road is going to stop a car...

Locally, Tesco, Waitrose and Asda have one or more walkways protected by bollards or raised kerbs. Morrisons have a walkway with trees lining it, although they would not provide complete protection from encroaching cars. Sainsbury's has painted walkways. Lidl lets you fend for yourself among the traffic, but provides bollards to protect their trolley racks and the immediate area around the entrance.

Our local Morrisons does.

For Transits.

I hope you let their tyres down.

[Grimly Curmudgeon]

Stick with it, then.

I can see any other comments paling into insignificance.

Can't strand all this railing against other motorists.

[Jeremy Nicoll - news posts]

Are you going to take of-fence?

[ARW]

+1. Or worse (cordless drill and flat tyres etc)

3 kids? They are all 4x4s around here.

That sounds quite familiar (not that our village had many busy roads to cross, well there was the A628 but there are very few houses at the other side of that)

And that is my biggest complaint about the gf. She still walks or drives her son to school (she needs the car if she is working mornings). FFS the lad has just turned 10. When challenged I was told that that is now the normal thing to do and that ALL parents still do that.

Was this the warning about strangers:-)?

It's become a very substantial thread now.
