 Seems that the LA's are getting tougher on BB applications.
 It was to be expected given the abuse of some BB holders that I have seen and those that I know of.
 One where the adult child no longer lives with the parents, yet the BB still has nearly 2 years to run and it is used every day for the parents' own benefit.
 Another where a couple have split up, his wife is the BB user but can't drive, yet the ex husband proudly uses it every day.0

            Reported yet again, both Oldboy and Tokenfield. He may get a life one day though I won't count on it.0

 Yep I know of one whose grandma had a BB. 21 year old daughter used it to park everywhere. I don't think she actually even ever took her granny out in the car.0
