Parent/Child Parking at Tescos

[spangles]

Is that Spangles back causing trouble again

Isn't that amazing that is just what a good few who don't come on here anymore said when Stargate flopped and you came back with your wee tail between your legs.

Absolutely amazing.

Just you tell them Bill that you can come on here anytime and cause mayhem. It's not just locals that can do it you have the right as well.

Oops I forgot Kintyre residents don't really come on here anymore . Och never mind I'm sure the stargate rejects will keep it going. Never fear.

is stargate no more?????

[Sweltered]

Alive and well actually....

Funny, there hasn't been any animosity on here for a long time...whatever could have caused it now......

...whatever could have caused it now......

Beats me sweltered. I'm as confused as you are.??? Maybe they are talking about the Courier issue on another thread?? Certainly more confrontational than my one word I'm sure. I believe on another thread some members have even built up hundreds of posts using just one word.

I only put one word in a post "ignorant"?? referring to a posting by hoots the scoop making derogatory remarks about locals who go shopping.

I also inserted a signature that I believe was made up by admin or mods i.e.

Hoots the scoop is a generic account and seeks to generate and stimulate conversation. If you wish access to this account please PM us. This account does not or should not represent personal views!

If taking offence at Campbeltonians being insulted and I post a question mark as to why it's allowed is causing trouble then I suppose I am guilty as charged.

As regards the generic account?? You'll need to ask admin or mods if it is okay to be insulting while posting under that name. Well outside my remit.

Cannae leave the forum alone for a few days but it all kicks off.

Good for the stats mind you.

Anyway, I avoided posting on this thread as I have mixed feelings about the subject. Too many cars as it is, what happened to kids before child/parent parking etc ...

But anyway, Spangles is it not a bit ignorant for people who don't have any kids with them to park in the child/parent spaces? Just like it would be ignorant for me to park in the disabled spaces?

I never mentioned anything about parking. I questioned someone posting under the generic account posting their personal views of in his/her opinion shoppers were ignorant? Hardly causing trouble is it??

On the subject of parking I couldn't care less who parks where. I have never to my knowledge parked in a disabled space because I think that is selfish but if I have no alternative I have no problem parking in a parent /child spot. The children are all too fat anyway and walking a few yards is probably the most exercise the wee darlings have had all day.

There now I have admitted my crime. I am a childless villain and park in parent /child spaces.

I suppose it is how you read it. I read it as ignorant at parking in the child/parent spaces - you read it as shoppers being ignorant.

That made me laugh!

Now too much debate - I've things to do!

I think the point is that spangles was questioning the fact that someone had used Hoots the Scoop to post what was clearly a personal opinion, which isn't what the account was meant to be used for, according to the disclaimer at the end of every post.

Whether it's shoppers, drivers, children, uncle tom cobbley and all that is being described as ignorant is neither here nor there.

Valet service would solve these problems

Got that point too Ranald.

never knew there was such a thing with regard to the scoop, you learn something new every day and heres me thinking theres nobody on here could teach me anything?

with regards to the "stargate" it is alive and well and surprisingly all the posts are pleasant, convivial and for the most part either insightful or humourous, not inciteful and humorless as is displayed elsewhere. and before anyone asks, no its not a "closed shop" anyone is welcome, all it takes is a request, simple case of "you don't ask, you don't get" theres no great secrets being recounted within it, just a place where its possible to post, safe in the knowledge that any disparaging remarks will be lighthearted and without malice.

sorry for continuing the offthread discourse, back, well nearly on track, i mentioned the illegal use of disabled parking spaces at tesco, so surprise surprise this morning at around 8.45am, a blue renault and a silver VW, no blue badge, parked right at the door, of course it was raining and you can't get wet walking that extra few yards, so thats ok, i'm ashamed to say i stood and said nothing, being on my best behaviour, now i'm annoyed that i didn't ask the drivers why they chose to park there, the carpark was nearly empty, the drivers looked able bodied (that means nothing of course, if your entitled your entitled, looks count for nothing, but if your entitled, then you have a badge, why not display it?)

i read in the paper about a tesco that was fining shoppers for parking too long, thats their perogative, why don't they fine those that park in the disabled bays without a blue badge?
for those that don't know, the badge is for the person on it, not the car, so theres no excuse for parking in a bay if you happen to have a relative with a badge but they are not present.

i'm mad at myself for not saying anything, it would have spoiled their day and brightened up mine, still i got my 10 call from that crowd who happen to be in the area and want to give you free windows (they wouldn't happen to be in the area because they are phoning from snipefield?) i gave the person a bit of a mouthful, politely of course, as i was fed up getting the calls, ten minutes later the phone rings again, i'm connected to someone but they don't talk, in the background i can hear others doing the "patter" i can also hear this female breathing, (you filthy minded lot!!!) obviously she thought it fun to call me and stay silent, what did i do? well my amp was handy, so was my bass, it happened to be switched on, up went the volume to 11 (its 180 watt bass amp) i held the phone to the 15" speaker and hit the strings as hard as i could, it was so loud i could feel it going up thru my legs, the end note and feedback was like hendrix "star spangled banner" helicopters.

don't think i'll be getting call No.12 somehow, oh and if you get a call don't bother with 1471, it gives you a number but its a recorded message, pity, my rant will have to wait for someone else, and hey presto AXA Healthcare just called trying to offer me life insurance, poor girl, how was she to know i'm the worst risk candidate for cover she'll have all week?

she does now!!!
