Good. Job well done. Maybe a promise from you (and Mrs eob) not to do it again wouldn't go amiss.


Yeah, and an apology from your end wouldn't go amiss either.

Just whilst we're all having such fun might eob share with the rest of us what was so fucking important Mrs eob had to drag twins and a shitty wean out shopping and steal a disabled person's parking spot in the first place?

Absolutely not.

If you think teaching impressionable weans that it's OK to steal disabled parking spaces and then try and wriggle out of the consequences is 'good parenting' then you're wrong and if being told that you're wrong makes you, or Mrs eob, think twice about doing it again then that's great.

From your reaction I somehow doubt it.

Okay then. You're probably a smashing person in real life, but you know what they say about internet anonymity. :wink:

eob: I can understand both sides of your dilema, but bearing in mind the hassle that could result from ignoring it... might be easier just to pay.

The multistorey at Silverburn has a load of P&C bays on each level - not just on the surface car park at the front; no use if you want tesco though.

On a more positive note, it's nice to see a 'mall' trying top patrol its car parking. Maybe they should do P&C badges for parking there. Write and suggest it if you think people with kids over 12*, or no kids with them are using the P&C bays.

*IIRC that's the age restriction, else my Dad could take my gran and use that bay.......

Once their website comes back online I'm going to pay.
From rooting around online, it seems that this has been employed to stop Silverburn users parking in Tesco's car park. (The disabled users spot policing being aside to that.)
Our local Morrisons used to have a Parent and Child badge scheme when they were still Safeways. There is a lady in a BMW 7 series (no car seats or anything) who parks in the closest Parent and Child spot to the front door. I'd love to say something to her but I don't have the bottle, I just grumble under my breath.
Maybe I should set onyirtodd on her, tell her how it should be! :)

It probably wouldn't make onny difference.

She knows how it should be - she just doesn't care and, in the event she gets a ticket, she'll come greetin' take a discussion group to see if onny cunt knows how she can avoid paying it :wink:

Oh I know how to avoid paying for it. I just wanted to know if any of the group had had similar (not ticketing for taking disabled spots but bad parking, staying past limit etc) at this particular location. I wanted to share in their experience.
Anyway, as this is our first parking fine, I'm going to pay.
Would you like me to PM you a copy of the reciept? :D
