Not amusing at all, it was an error, I did not realise I could edit so long after posting but it was meant to say not, that post now does say not.0

Not at all. A spelling error is one thing that can be made fun of, but a word missed out in error, I already acknowledged that error, and then to harp on as though I meant the error is trollish behaviour.
My views might be different to others and that is just how it is.0 -

I like Katie Hopkins but I can't stand the name Katie. It sounds so childish like Jamie.0

Now, if I am driving at the speed limit, then anyone taking over me is going over the speed limit and so there shouldn't be a problem.
I had an incident about a year ago, where a man followed me to the services. I needed the toilet and I wanted to go and eat the sandwiches that I had taken with me and have the drink that I had taken with me. What I do is go to the supermarkets and get my food and drinks from there as well as my household things as I REFUSE, absolutely REFUSE to use these services as they are sometimes priced more.
Anyway this man come over and said that I was stupid for "hogging the middle lane". I went straight to my blue badge, showed it to his face, told him I had a disability and that I would be calling the police due to discrimination.
I can tell you he backed off. So anyone out there who gets any bother and has a blue badge, just you make sure you use it. It can help in all kinds of situations.
He said that I had stayed in the middle lane for miles and miles. Well I did. Is there anything wrong with this?
My husband (and I) are both disabled and have BB's......I have just looked at the badge, but nowhere does it say that being disabled allows us to drive badly, hog the middle lane, and generally wander around in a state of victimhood, playing the old "disability card"......:wall:
Lin :whistle:You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.0 -

And DRFM insists that (s)he's not a troll? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -

The shocking thing here is you have actually just looked at your badge to see if it says that
I could have told you it doesn't0
