What is the etiquette on the "Parent and Child" spaces?
I was at the supermarket with my mum a couple of weeks ago and the car park was jam packed except for the parent and child spaces, despite all my protests she wouldn't park in one of those and instead spent 20 minutes circling the car park until a space opened up at the back.

My arguemnt was that she is my mum, I am her child therefore we qualified for one of those spaces, ok, it might not be in the spirit of the intention but that's their fault for not writing the signs properly. had it said "Parent and child under X" i wouldn't have argued the fact but if they can't decide the rules properly I see no reason why my *Cough* years old mother can't park in one of those spaces with her 27 year old son, still fits the rules guv'!

I think you have to ask yourself
If I parked there and upon leaving my car I saw a mother with three toddlers struggling across the car park with a huge trolley of shopping would I feel guilty.

we had a leaving do
for my manager at a local thai pub the other week, as she was eight and a half months pregnant and off on maternity leave and I almost got into a row with some bloke because I had parked in the disabled parking spot so she could get in and out of the car without any problems.
