Touch!, sorry for any offence, none meant, none taken.

As for London Eye quote. It's an historical quote. Haig - 1917, France

Thank you Brassedoff, for your "touch", though I would have used "touche" or even "chapeau". :T I feel that you have great expectations of the modern-day educational system, if you think that a 17 year old would be au fait with World War One quotations!

Lol, yes I typed touche, but the auto correct on the iPhone has a mind of it's own, so I can blame it for all my grammatical ills!:mad:

Yes, I may have more confidence in the system. Possibly misplaced I fear!

The swear filter on MSE does that too. (because people used the accented letters to get around swearing)

It appears to me that there are only 3 opinions that should count and they belong to Brassedoff, wattdallas and pwales. If anyone disagrees with them they are branded as ignorant, stupid and unable to "get it". These 3 posters feel it is perfectly acceptable to be insulting and rude, but nobody else should even politely disagree with them.

Worse still, anyone elses problems pale into insignificance by comparison, and BBs, though issued, shouldn't be used in case they should require the spaces.

Efforts to explain our, or a family member's disabilities, and necessities for a BB space, are shushed away, and people end up trying to justify their useage of BBs. There is absolutely no need to do so. There are none as deaf as those who don't wish to hear.

Everybody is annoyed, and rightly so, when they see a BB space used by somebody not displaying a badge, but we have no right to judge a person's need, or otherwise, because they "look" OK.

Tomorrow, I shall drive my husband shopping, in our new car, courtesy of Motability, park in a BB space, and if he has a problem getting out and stays there, or wishes to return to the car before me, that is absolutely fine. I wish all posters a Happy New Year.

YOU are sooooooooo wrong.

My views are the same as the joe public out in the real world.

You know the ones paying for peoples motability cars etc .And yes we have a right to judge ,seems were paying for you.

Ive got no problem at all for REAL disabled people getting DLA and BB but ive got a big problem with people swinging the lead.

You do?

How many of those people "swinging the lead" have invisible disabilities? I look fine, yet I'm not. You can't know that by just looking at me.

Plus she fails to pick up on the fact DLA is nothing to do with being unemployed and many people work and recieve DLA - including myself, and if it wasnt for DLA I wouldnt of been able to reduce my hours to enable me to continue working. Working therefore PAYING MY TAXES, you just dont get it do you wattsdallas?!

Why am I sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong? Both my husband and myself pay tax, and, between us, we've been paying for over 100 years! So, if I am to accept what you say, "we're paying for you", then I assume you are a tax payer, as I am. By the same token, I am paying for any benefits you or your daughter receive. The difference between us being that I don't begrudge it!

Nobody condones people "swinging the lead", but your post implies that my husband is one of those and, therefore, not what you would consider one of the "REAL disabled people".

That is so offensive, but you know what? I feel sorry for you. You appear to have a chip on your shoulder the size of Everest, and until you walk a mile in my shoes, or those of anyone else who posts on this board, you are in no position to judge.

Of course, if you weren't implying that my husband is "swinging the lead", and I have misinterpreted your post, I apologise - as I hope you will do if you were implying that - though I won't hold my breath!

I wish you and your daughter a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Watt used to post on another forum I post on. Her posts basically came across as "no-one else has a disability but my daughter". She accused me of lying about my disabilities (funny how 3 GPs, 1 physiotherapist and 1 neurologist agree with me!) based on the fact that someone with a different disability (she's blind due to medication. I'm partially sighted due to a genetic disease) said she can't understand why I have the problems I do.

I was wrong - this post has not died a natural death, it continues to live on, Zombie like stumbling around to no useful purpose.

Hope 2011 is good to you all.
