Hows this for a quote from a motor caravan owner

Quoted on MHF


I am also inconsiderate when parked at Tesco as I staddle two or four spaces and park at a cock eyed angle to ensure I do not get blocked in. Or is it Tesco who are inconsiderate for not making provision for motorhomes? To be fair, at some of their stores, the are places for motorhomes to park.

Indeed!
However i will say that the politically correct brigade do get my blood boiling with some of these alloted car parking schemes.I do think it would be nice to cater for the more larger vehicles that are on the road,being as we now also cater for family with child spaces,you know the ones,the ones who have never done a days work in their lives,have everything given to them on a plate and now we have to suffer these car parking spaces along side the pretend disabled car parking spaces.We never had all this rubbish years ago,i mean why even give disabled parking spaces,when these people stop where they feel like anyhow and block up roads with their selfishness,maybe these groups should be mollycoddled and be allowed to drive their way through the stores so that they dont have to get out of their cars.My father in law is disabled he has a badge,and uses these spaces,but he has lost the use of his legs and is paralised from the chest down.
I propose good common sense.

Disabled spaces for the proper disabled i.e.(people in wheelchairs) and stop and confiscate the misuse of these badges,i am a postman my legs and joints hurt all the time,i have more need of a badge than some of these charlatans,i see it all the time.

Let us also scrap the stupid toddler parking and bring back some old fashioned values that we all had in the good old days,you know the ones where kids were taught a bit of respect and were made to walk from place to place rather than being carried.Let us smack our kids when they need it,it never did us any harm and we had some respect for our peers for it.
When i was 5 or 6 i walked to school everyday i was never picked up by car by overbearing parents.
I could go on but i have better things to do with my time........like the arcade....
 
where's wolfie ?:rolleyes:
common sense,respect and good manners have been stolen from us by the cp brigade we do what goes against the grain and our upbring just to get our way and make a point

Was this you?

I'll never forget that first day at t'pit.
Me an' mi fatha worked a 72 hour shift,
then wi walked home 43 mile through t'snow in us bare feet,
huddled inside us clothes med out o' old sacks.

Eventually we trudged over t'hill until wi could see t'street light twinklin' in our village.
Mi fatha smiled down at mi through t'icicles hangin' off his nose. "Nearly home now lad", he said.
We stumbled into t'house and stood there freezin' cold and tired out,
shiverin' and miserable, in front o' t' meagre fire.

Any road, mi mam says "Cheer up, lads. I've got you some nice brown bread and butter for yer tea."
Ee, mi fatha went crackers. He reached out and gently pulled mi mam towards 'im by t'throat.
"You big fat, idle ugly wart", he said. "You gret useless spawny-eyed parrot-faced wazzock." ('E had a way wi words, mi fatha. He'd bin to college, y'know).
"You've been out playin' bingo all afternoon instead o' gettin' some proper snap ready for me an' this lad", he explained to mi poor, little, purple-faced mam.

Then turnin' to me he said "Arthur", (He could never remember mi name), "here's half a crown.
Nip down to t'chip 'oyl an' get us a nice piece o' 'addock for us tea. Man cannot live by bread alone."
He were a reyt tater, mi fatha.

He said as 'ow workin' folk should have some dignity an' pride an' self respect,
an' as 'ow they should come home to summat warm an' cheerful.
An' then he threw mi mam on t'fire.

We didn't 'ave no tellies or shoes or bedclothes.
We med us own fun in them days.
Do you know, when I were a lad you could get a tram down into t'town, buy three new suits an' an ovvercoat, four pair o' good boots, go an' see George Formby at t'Palace Theatre, get blind drunk, 'ave some steak an' chips, bunch o' bananas an' three stone o' monkey nuts an' still 'ave change out of a farthing.

We'd lots o' things in them days they 'aven't got today - rickets, diptheria, Hitler and my, we did look well goin' to school wi' no backside in us trousers an' all us little 'eads painted purple because we 'ad ringworm.
They dun't know they're born today!

It was actually a record from the '80s called "Capstick Comes Home" Performed to the background music of Dvorak's New World symphony.
It was a spoof on the Hovis advert of the time.

Tony capstick gud olde sth yorks lad he know how it wa in them days:Dtry stranglin your lass and chuckin her on fire now a days there'd be hell to pay:D
 
Thanks for reminding me of that Boxerman. I had that recording for years,(came from a radio show - I think ) but had to let it go in the end, kept reminding me of the good old days, and Madam hates seeing me with a nostalgic tear trickling down my cheek.

Sadly very true, FWIW it seems the degeneration has no boundaries, It seems to me all ages are guilty has charged. I am counting down the days when a simple 'please' and 'thank you' will be dropped from the English language.

Last one out the country switch the light off.

The wider spaces for mother and baby are designed to allow enough room to get a baby carry car seat out, or a pushchair alongside - Without damaging the other cars parked next to you.
It's not easy for a mum taking several young children and or babies to the supermarket for a shop these days.

How I wish all the shops: butcher's bakers, greengrocer, Off Licence etc (especially the Off Licence) were all within walking distance of my house, and I didn't have to do a full time job - as well as all the shopping, child care, school run.

I'd love to leisurely stroll down the high street picking up my day to day shopping every day. And if some items were too heavy, the Hovis boy would deliver them to my home, after cycling up that cobbled stone hill.

But, those days are gone. And if someone parks right up against my car in Tesco car park then I may have to gently nudge their paintwork with my 11 year old Ford Escort's door as I get my children strapped in. ... Sorry :)
