I have found that our local ASDA has a whole car park available for our A8 between 01:00 and 05:30 every weekday morning.

That is the only time to go shopping there.

A question which frequently occurs to me in similar circumstances is whether to park up close to the white lines bewteen you and the other vehicle in the hope that it makes the bay between you too tight for others to get into. But that might just provide a challenge to some idiot who ALWAYs seems to want to park next to other cars no matter how many free spaces there are! Youll come back and find some SMart car in there, for instance.

Tractor, all those parking issues just go away.

If the carpark is empty no problem, but if it's busy i don't think it right someone should have to drive around the carpark for ages looking for a space and there are cars taking up 2 spaces. Don't drive your car if you're frightened to use it, or just don't take it shopping.

I'll quite happily do this

Yes but youve got an ambulance Dezzy so when some massive bloke lands you one for parking it two nano-millimetres away from his pride and joy, at least youve got medical facilities close by!

The other tactic is to park in between some expensive cars. Reverse the scenario, park next to some £50k plus car so they will be worried to scratch their car on some old Audi
