Berated in a disabled parking space by socilaist misfits!

[Conniedriving]

One of our neighbours for me is a bad example of a blue badge holder.

About 12 years ago he had a bad car crash and the head injures left him with a form of tunnel vision for which his driving licence was revoked. He applied for a blue badge and got one so his wife could drive him about and shortly after he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer which was successfully treated.
After about a year he regained his sight and the doctors gave him the nod to have his driving licence back.

He has continued to hold his blue badge over the past 11 years or so even thought he returned to work and has no mobility problems other than you would expect with getting older.

About 18 months ago we arranged to a show at the NEC together and he said that he would drive as his blue badge would get us priority parking. Curious, I asked him how come he still had a blue badge and his answer was that because he had prostate cancer the blue badge is issued because he has a terminal disease. Just to rub it in, his wife is registered as his carer.

Now is he playing the system or is the system allowing it to be abused or am I seeing a problem that's not there ?

This is why it has gone from DLA to PIP

That’s seems really bad, after all most men develop prostrate cancer to some extent and after all, we all have a terminal disease.
- sorry quoted wrong post!

Best to say I will swop my disability for yours
That normally shuts them up

I really like that, cos as the response goes, any other input from the speaker would be a waste of breath since you can't actually have a battle of wits with anyone who does not understand its meaning!

WELL KNOWN MEDICAL FACT THAT MANY MANY MORE MEN DIE with PROSTATE CANCER THAN ACTUALLY of IT - Ooops, sorry, that's arse about face - Upper case where it should be lower case and vice versa.

It’s just jealousy. I’ve been spat at and shouted at when we bought a new Range Rover a few years ago and before that I had an E Type V12, I got people blowing their horns and flashing lights if I even dared to overtake them.

My relative parked in the street whist he took his children to the park. When he returned, his brand new range river was keyed. Every single panel

I have and only once had an issue. That was a peaked hat, hi vis vested parking attendant at a well known supermarket chain at 9:45 on a Sunday. He told us we couldn't park there because they had received complaints! On crutches at the time, I gave him short shrift and carried on into the cafe for breakfast.

I then dropped a suitably worded note to their HO.

Unfortunately it’s part of the British disease. Those that haven’t,don’t like to see you’ve got anything nice. The fact that you’ve worked your bollix off for 40 plus years and haven’t drunk it away is lost on them. It’s what I call socialist snobbery.

Of course,in America you’d be congratulated for your success...........but then again maybe they’d just shoot you and take the car!!

My mate has a saying “everyone likes success, but not everyone likes to see it”

I think some should

Very common

There lies he problem ,the system ,to easy to manipulate.

Very true

You would be surprised at the high number of ethnic BMW drivers who forget to display their blue card when parked in the local motorway services disabled bays

Can you define “ethnic”?

Were they in fact breaking any law though, you can't stop someone going in the sea in a boat.

Well the french authorities don’t seem to be able to
