So why put them in the busiest part of the car park, then? That's where this argument always falls down.

Or they could walk around the busy bit. And the bit where they are most likely to lose control of their kids (while pulling out/putting in car seats and shopping) is in the quiet bit.

No, it's the busiest bit because the pickup/set down spot is there and everyone who doesn't realise that all those spaces are reserved drive through there. Stick the parent/child spots at the back and the front of store will still be very busy.


As we note from this thread, there seems to be more than enough P/C spaces, since buddog found quite a few to park in. Even when the shop was supposedly quite busy.

anyone who has driven to a supermarket before knows that those spaces will be child/disabled. I suggest it is more a case of those like the OP who cause the trouble. Surprised that the disabled users havent come in for stick yet from the WUMs. Only I sometimes worry that those like Buddug arent wumming and really are so selfish.
I always assumed the reason the parent/child spaces are close to the entrance is to minimise the amount of time that small children spend in the vicinity of the car park. Even supervised, they have to be more at risk than an adult in that environment, so it always made sense to me to make sure they spend as little time in it as possible. Isn't the problem with putting the parent/child spaces at the back that parents and children still need to navigate the bit at the front and all the bits in between in any event? Or am I missing something?
I agree. I can't see what the big deal is here. It makes perfect sense to put parent/toddler parking in the safest part of the car park. So what if I have to park a bit further away. We are only talking metres, not miles. I don't know what was going through the mind of the OP, but I can't see any reason for anyone to park where they shouldn't. And if you have to wait for a space, then so be it.

OP, well done for admitting your fault and learning from the posts on here.


I suspect that fines/charges for these spaces are in place as, unfortunately, so many people won't obey societal rules without being beaten with a big stick.


I have no issues with parent and child parking, or the fines, for the record. And whilst I've never had a problem finding a space in that Sainsbury's car park, there have been plenty of other car parks where I've just had to have a bit of a drive around waiting for a space to become free. Maybe you could try that tactic next time.

Sainsbury's 'fines' are essentially invoices. The 1% is saved for those drivers (note: not car owners) that can be proved in a court of law to have individually entered into a contract with the firm running the parking. No easy task.

You must pay: parking 'fines' from councils, Network Rail car parks, police tickets (but you should appeal if you think you've being unfairly ticketed)


You should bin: parking 'charges' from shopping centres, McDonald's, motorway services, supermarkets, basically anything from companies called 'Parking Eye' or 'Euro Parking' or similar. And bin the follow-up 'demands' from debt collectors, usually with the same PO Box as the original charge.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.

    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
