    It is probably worth mentioning that a BB does not entitle you to park absolutely anywhere you please.
    There are quite a lot of restrictions in fact.
    And some car parks do charge BB holders, you'd have to check before risking it

    Indeed, my mother would never believe me when I told her I needed to check! 

    Also some insist you are parked in a Disabled Bay rather than just anywhere.

    And the restrictions vary from place to place. We have a caravan in Wales and, luckily looked up what is allowed/disallowed. One county allowed yellow line parking on the main street, but the one nextdoor, said you had to use the free spaces on a nearby carpark.
