..we pulled into the (newish) ASDA in a nearby town last week, on our way home from an amble along the canal.
Mrs nE was convinced I'd pulled into the "mother and child" area, as the parking bays were marked with peripherally white-lined "islands" between. Possibly only 18 inches or so, and the bays themselves between the islands were little wider than normal. Nope, all the spaces were thus, with the disabled and "mother and child" ones additionally marked (and possibly slightly wider).
It does seem to cajole (most) people to parking in the centre of the spaces, rather than heading to one side, and there was a noticeable improvement in parking discipline and space between vehicles, than the norm.
I wonder if it's an ASDA thing for their newer stores? (normally, of course, I would only be seen in Waitrose ;-) )
