i reckon the only people with wheel chairs or those who cant walk and need those scooter trollies indoors should only use the spaces....

Because they are disabled and unable to walk any decent distance. So the parking bays, quite rightly, are placed as close to the entrance as is practical. In fact at Asda, Grimshaw Park, Blackburn there are many normal parking spots and all the mother and toddler places that are closer to the entrance than half the disabled places.

So you reckon that if a disabled person can walk around a supermarket they can also walk from a distant parking spot do you? Blue Badge holders get the badge because their walking distance is limited so to make them walk lengthy distances before even getting to the supermarket door is totally insensitive.

Many disabled people can just about manage a slow stroll around a supermarket but would be stumped if required to also walk from a distant parking spot. You would also do well to remember that whilst inside the building they have a trolley to lean on. Those trolleys can be as good as a Zimmer frame in aiding people to walk.

Just thank your lucky stars that you are not disabled and stop being such a selfish prig.
