On the 'parent child/disabled' debate, I didn't mean it as a slight on the disabled,, I was just saying it is disproportionate in my stores.

The majority of people i see in the disabled bay see fit as a fiddle to me too. I could have a disabled badge if i wanted but chose not to as I feel it should be for people who really struggle to walk and not any Tom !!!!!! or Harry who can 'claim' one.

By the way, to the poster who said the parent and toddler places were so kids don't smash the doors, think before you open your mouth.

Some people will appear to be fine, you can't see chronic heart or lung conditions, where people will struggle to walk too far. Do you really expect everyone that uses a blue badge to have a wheelchair?

There's a lot of ignorance surrounding disability. I've had people knock on the window before I've got out of the car, to inform me that we've parked in the 'wrong' place as it's a disabled space. Because I'm relatively young, (29) people automatically assume that we're there to take the proverbial. I most certainly do not abuse my badge, and I get angry when people do.

Another one that annoys me is when the badge holder stays in the car and able bodied people get out to do the shopping but still park there. :mad: Why???!

hi i thought i would throw my penny in the pot re the disabled parking space.

I used to try and judge the disabled parkers in the bays, often thinking they didnt look disabled at all.

Then my Dad was told he had mesothelioma, you are given a blue badge without question. My Dad looked ok and people would of thought he didn't need a badge. I used to say you should carry a walking stick to stop people from trying to judge you. He couldn't walk far without getting breathless, but when he first emerged from the car you wouldn't of guessed that. My beloved Dad died in a year.
I now dont judge blue badge holders, i know my Dad needed his as i am sure others need theirs, and it is not my place to be judge and jury.
But woe betide the non blue badge driver who parks in the disabled bays.:(

I also have three boys , and i was of the opinion that the larger mum and baby spaces were for us to be able to open the doors wide so we can get little ones in and out. and to stop the small heart attacks we have as the little ones fling the car doors open without a care in the world.
though i must admit pregnant women spaces would be good, as i have found myself once or twice either unable to get out of the car once parked, or worst still unable to get in my car when i have returned to it:)

I was not being ignorant, like I say I can easily get a badge if I wish, it is the ones that can walk and run for that matter that irk with me, and the amount of bays that sit there empty which could be used for parent and toddlers.
