    That wheel looks far too small for the arch. Has he nicked it off a Micra?
  • No, the car is disabled. Hence the reason for parking (badly) where it is.

    Ah. The disabled parking space. The 1st choice spot for all Range Rover drivers.

    Given the shop that's outside, couldn't that be a 'family' space?

    Apparently not. That is Gareth Bale's RR in a dedicated disabled spot.

    Is being more than a bit thick considered a disability?

    No, so you can't have an orange badge :)

    No not yet. But am sure that if its a Labour/Lib Dem coalition next May it certainly will be.

    I was once told I was entitled to one, but said I didn't want it. Not for being hard of thinking that time though.
  • My parents once got kicked out of a disabled spot once by an officious shopping trolley collector. They parked there because they were taking my Gran, who has a blue badge legitimately, shopping. The only thing is she has a bad memory due to age (dementia but we don't like to talk about it in the family) so she had thought the blue badge was in her handbag but it wasn't. They put up a note explaining it and the trolley guy was watching as my gran was getting out and really struggling as she is really infirm right now. They made my Dad move the car to a place just opposite. What was all that about?

    One thing to think about, if anyone has a big 4x4 or pickup with a blue badge is that right? What I wonder is if the high riding vehicle is a stiff step up for me in rude health then someone who is truly disabled must struggle. Surely anyone issued with a blue badge when they drive a big car/pickup then someone needs to look into it in case it is not really needed. Either that or the badge holder get a better suited car.

    There's obviously a reason he's the trolley guy and not the store manager.

    There are so many tw@ts who park in the Parent and Child parking at Morrissons. If you have writhing, wriggling and errant curious toddlers like me, you'll know how bloody difficult it is to get from the other end of a Supermarket car park to get a double trolley, walk all the way back to the car, load them up and walk all the way back in and reverse the process when you come out.
    One charlie boy in his Vauxhall Corsa parked right next to me, hood up and with his adopted 'hard man' gate proceeded to the entrance. I saw him go and purchase a packet of fags and deposit the wrapper on the ground on his exit and slump back into his car. I said ' Please don't park there' and he replied 'Wot?' I stared unblinkingly right at him and asked him whether he wanted a punch in the skull? (local vernacular) and he sped away.
    I then approached the manager and mentioned how so many people park in the disabled or parent and child spots but all he could say is that we "...were'nt there to police the spaces...it wouldn't be in our interest to approach people... blah blah blah
    We could do with some bolshey trolley attendants (as long as they didn't get the wrong end of the stick).

    Maybe disabling the able bodied that park in disabled spaces would be appropriate. But if that is the case would Piña gave to impregnate the Corsa driving chav to make him a parent?
  • I want to be a trolley boy when I get old.

    I saw one the other day having a mental breakdown as someone had put a shallow trolley in the deep trolley row and it had messed up all the trolley parking.

    (our trolleys need a £1 coin)

    I looked at him and thought Pah, that wont be me, I'll just seperate them and put them in the right queue. I tell you, i'm gonna be a great trolley boy.

    I've always aspired to a bike & cake shop with a knocking shop above it.

    Somewhere warm, with an ethnically diverse workforce and little in the way of tax and crime.

    I'm thinking of crowd funding my retirement, any takers? The higher the contribution the higher the associated discount, I've yet to come up with a shop name …….

    The Bike Riders Joint seems to cover all the bases.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.
