OK Post 141. Let's try to make it simple. Shame you failed:cool:
Disabled people have a tough time(No, I'm not and nor are any of my family which makes me and them lucky). Wider parking spaces, near the store etc go a tiny way to making it easier to overcome the poor hand dealt to them.
Some people have been known to abuse the scheme. So that needs dealing with. And in some places it is with legislation
Those who park in or across disabled bays should have to wear a tattoo on their foreheads to indicate what sub-humans they are. And how will we know if people are abusing the spaces? If you think that is too strong a phrase just try looking at the thread concerning those who go into disabled toilets and you might be moved to agree.
Never seen the toilet thread and happy not to get involved there.;)0 -

you dont. So shut up.
Its a valid question.. The vaild answer with exceptions to maybe a FEW disabled bays is that there is no reason why they are close to the store.And they dont have to be there either.
That has to be one of the most ridiculous statements on here so far!0 -
Still waiting for why the OP didn't park in a normal space and let their missus get out there and walk the HUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEE distance to the doors and back!The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

The class of your area astounds me, but then when i read your posts, it is obviously to all that you are at the 'lower end' of society.....(and it isn't a suprise)

Really? Why is that then? Lots of disabled people are more able then those confined to wheelchairs so why cant they walk to the store from wherever? Or are you now making the sweeping generalisation that ALL disabled people are confined to wheelchairs and thus need to park right outside the door?
Or do you believe that cos people have kids that they should not have to walk either? Are they crippled too?one of the famous 5

Or are you just bitter because you're too lazy to walk and want a space as close to the door as possible for yourself?0

Do we all agree that the blue badge system is being abused?0
