I’VE just reached my 70th birthday and I’m going to have a bit of a moan.

I am very grateful to be reasonably healthy but I do however have some arthritis in my wrists and a slightly dodgy hip.

Whilst I’m not bad enough to be registered disabled I do find pushing a heavy shopping trolley across a supermarket car park sometimes quite painful.

It is rather frustrating to see young healthy mothers, often without their children, parking right next to the entrance to the supermarkets in the mother and child bays whilst I have to struggle with my heavy trolley often to the far side of the car park.

Would it be possible for us oldies to be able to share the mother and child bays so we don’t have to walk so far with our shopping.

Come on supermarkets, please show you don’t want to discriminate against us old folk.
