I see there is another P&T parking spaces thread so I'll ask you this.

I'm a blue badge holder, need a disabled parking space at supermarket. I get a bit hmm when people who don't need them take disabled spaces, but generally can't get aereated about it, lifes too short.

But the other day, I was just loading my shopping back into the car when a white van with ladders on the top swooped into the last vacant disabled space, bloke in overalls got out and wandered off into the store.

I've seen his van parked there before, but tried to charitably assume he'd taken his mum shopping or summink.

So next time, what can I say to him?

Nothing - why get a mouthful of abuse? I would go straight to customer services with his registration number, let them know youve seen him before and insist they do something. In our store they call them over the tannoy to move, in a big loud way. As long as customer services has a nice arsy-looking lady and not a gum slinging 15 year old on work experience, they will relish the challenge!
Personally, I would then go back and lean on my car and glare, but then I really enjoy a good ruck.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
