Because she was finding it hard to get around, she parked in a mother-

Half an hour later she struggled back to the car with her shopping to
find a £90 parking ticket on the windscreen.

She contacted Tesco, which referred her to car park operator Safe

Why do you take such delight in highlighting other people's difficulties?
You really are a very mean minded individual.

So the only way she could have got to the supermarket if she was struggling
so much was by car. Thank you doug for demonstrating once again the value
provided to the world by this marvel of mechanisation.

From the article...
>> Brian Walker, operations manager of Safe Park UK, declared: "There are

>> will be fined and this lady did not have a child.

No biology O-level, then, Brian? Whaddya think the bump is? A pillow? Or
is she just fat, p'raps?
