  • More likely managed to get a disabled badge for having a 'bad back'!!!!
    As someone with three hidden disabilities that even some friends do not know about, but are still crippling in in their own way, I am only going to reply to that post in my head as I couldn't possibly be that rude on a public forum.

    Also, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not that ignorant and that you just read the Daily Mail.

    I mean, those deemed fit to work by ATOS and die weeks later must be fiddlers too.

    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???!

    Sometimes you go shopping and you park up and your disabled baby has fallen asleep so you get out and do the shopping and leave child sleeping with wife in the car.

    Try having a child that will die young and your opinion will soon change.

    One of my children has a blue badge, was so awkward when they were younger. Now it is very obvious. The way I was sneered at/shouted at/verbally abused was horrific.

    If my child or myself is using the blue badge, I do not expect to be abused verbally or be deemed to be playing the system as we look 'normal'.
  • 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.

    I didn't accuse you of being ignorant. :) I merely stated that there is a lot of of ignorance regarding disabilities. In my local stores the disabled bays are always full. If I need one, we usually have to wait. I totally agree that misuse of these bays is absolutely wrong. I can't really comment on parent and child bays as I've never used them.

    Evening, 2 glasses of chilled white and a chocoblok, wondering whether to move on to something harder or slow down?
