blue badge for parking

[Claw75]

The thread makes more sense now that we know you were playing devil's advocate

Don't think any apologies are necessary though mate, can't see why anyone would be offended by anything you have posted, and neither should they be imo.

thanks too be able too debate an issue properly i always find its best too understand both sides of an argument and not be blinkered i am hoping by posting in a blinkered style i have got some great info on how the other side can and will react

to good....

Iron, I know it's been good sport round here for donkey's years to take the p**s out of your speelling, but i've noticed the 'too' thing a lot over the last few months, here and on facebook.  I'm sure you never used too doo it (quick check on some old posts confirms my memory isn't completely shot).  Just out of interest, have you started too use voice recognition software or something?

too to two is all to do with repetition same as when i typed teh instead of the but that was corrected by installing a spell check

my fingers get used to bashing keys in order and just do it, teh is a code from my army days that i would input close too 200 times a day
5-6 days a week 7 days when out in the field every since i have never been able too type the without a spell check


just like i always get the camels name wrong despite living 8 miles from the town call Keith

Just about to chuck a contro-grenade into the room...

Perhaps the admin fee will discourage the 'non-genuine' disabled benefit cheat types from applying for blue badges? Similar to how many of them are being weeded out as present?

I'm all for genuine cases receiving benefits, parking spaces etc - but the amount of times I seem some fella hop, skip and jump out of his car a la Ali G is amazing.  The fact that Tescos et al feel the need to allocate huge swathes of disabled bays at a seemingly disproportionate level exasperates me.  And for the most part I suspect its all because of these people with no disability or a bit of a bad back.

So maybe a benefit of the fee is that it will serve as an extra barrier to those disingenuously trying to obtain a badge and discourage them? Maybe it'll make it easy for you to get a parking space in town?

Based on this logic we should charge all people genuinely  in need for whatever service or item required because some people take the piss.. yes well done.
