Blue Badge abuse????

Options
Over the past couple of weeks I have been taking my grandson to the swimming pool for lessons. Each time I have seen a black '61' Range Rover parked next to me in one of the three 'on road' disabled spaces (I have a BB).

This week my grandson when getting out of my car said that that car is uncle '****' car he must have brought *** for a lesson.

OK so far, except that I know 'uncle ****' as being a rather dubious character that legally doesn't work, but enjoys a very varied and expensive lifestyle'

This character quite correctly has a BB on display when he parks, except for one thing - I know full well that the badge he displays isn't his but actually belonged to his deceased grandmother who died 15 months ago!

I have to admit that a smile did cross my lips thinking ' the cheek of it'.

    Sometimes, Andy, I feel like that when I read your posts. .But then I get bored.

    Isn't it time you regenerated?

    is the grandson you take swimming the child of one of you daughters that you openly admit are both committing benefit fraud?
    yet you have the cheek to comment on other people doing what you condone within your own family?

    Just on the off chance not a troll, report it to local authority that issued the badge and state it belongs to so in so who is dead, but her grandson is using it.

    Why not take a photo as well so you get the BB number etc to help them trace it and cancel it and this will also highlight the vehicle that it is being used on.

    Win win for all.

    S/he who must be obey'd didn't tell you did she ? but then that's how some close family's work isn't it ?. It was 'Flo' your very own beloved wife who loaned her virtual badge to the uncle in the virtual 1961 Range Rover that was not even invented till 1970. He always gets handbagged by darling Flo, and if she doesn't manage it he does it to himself.

    That would be a 61 plate (2 year old) range rover I think they mean hence the expensive lifestyle comment.
