Is having children or just being fat a disability ?

Happychappy

I have just been to the local Sainsburys with my 81 year old mother who is severly disabled and restricted in her ability to walk.

There are about 20 disabled bays near the entrance, unfortunately all were full, I therefore dropped her off at the front, then went and found a parking bay.

After the shop I had to leave her at the front, take the shopping to the car and load it, then go to the front and help mother into the car and put the wheelchair in the boot.

Walking to the car I passed the disabled parking bays, the second car was Mrs Fat loading its car with her 12 year old little slob chewing it's way through a pastie, she wasnt disabled, just said she couldnt find anywhere to park and didn't see the signs.

Another bay was free which an estate car pulled into and mother with three kids around 10 years to 15 years got out. I pointed out to her it was reserved for disabled parking ? She wasnt disabled either, just said the mother and children bays were taken, and chavved off into the distance ?

Is it just a reflection on society or am I missing something regarding respect for others. Rant over

It's respectfor others. They have none.

We handed a lot of money in to the local police station yesterday and he was gobsmacked that we did. I wouldn't have dreamt of keeping it. Not that amount found in a clearly describable area. Last night we were visited by a guy with a reward thanking us profusely. It was his wifes money and she was heartbroken when she realised she didn't have it in her bag. They also didn't think for a minute anyone would have handed it in and were very relieved when they found we had.

I like to believe in good karma. One day Mrs Fat might need a wheelchair herself and then she'll see how hard it is to find a space and remember back....

I'm suprised the policeman didn't take it to be honest.

Blimey - attitude says it all...

I found a 100 dollar note in a department store in the US and handed it in. OH was furious with me. Probably why the OH is now my ex...

It wasn't mine, and I'm not a thief - end of - as they say....

Edit - I meant Riq - not you - in case you got confused......

Going to put it how I see it - he's plain ignorant - bit like the ignorant people who can't read or ignore signs where they should or should not be parking.

Correction, people who can't read, are not necessarily ignorant, buy they can work out the 'signs' and what they mean.

Riq probably doesn't abide by the law may be? Thinks the police behave in the same way? Law abiding citizens don't think the same way as Riq. Defend yourself Riq or hold your hands up.

Well - happychappy - what are your odds on me being right??

No, nothing like speeding - probably handling... as that is what he is 'accusing' the police of doing - handling/stealing.

Idiot....

I thought they were all called 'Parent and Child' spaces? I've never seen Mother and Child ones.
