Default M6 toll, good news

Pete Smith ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

On a sort of related issue - my wife is now too pregnant to get out of
normal parking spaces - I've got to stop, let her out, and then move
in.

We went shopping last week, and it was a bit drizzly. Bearing in mind
her difficulties, we thought we'd try the Parent & Baby slots. None
left unsurprisingly. Of the 10 or so they had, only _one_ was obviously
a car with baby, having a car seat in it (not that that means much).
The rest had no sign of any baby occupancy.


Assuming you'd parked there, would your car have had any visible sign of
your wife being pregnant?


It actually would (in this instance) because we've put the baby seat in the
back, because there's no convenient place to store it in the house.

If we'd been in my car, the seat wouldn't have been in the back.

OTOH, I've watched people in the past, and it's actually _rare_ to see
someone pregnant or carrying a baby to stop in these slots. It's normally
lazy *******s who can't be bothered to walk an extra 10 feet.
