OK, to go completely off the subject of parental responsibility and back onto those little signs - I'd love to do a count of cars parked in 'family parking' spots - those designated by the little pictogram of a pushchair or a baby - and see just how many of those 'baby on board' signs are false. Many's the time I've had to struggle with a baby, pushchair, baby accoutrements and a pink furry toy, in 8 inches of space available in ordinary parking spaces, when the 'family parking' is full of single occupant, unable to walk more than 10 yards unaided drivers and their 4X4 vehicles that are too big to get into normal spaces.
