Thought that too,  Itchy being tetchy.  Lighten up a bit!  Open and I will give you a serious input into the whole 'Nerves' discussion.

If you have a sprained ankle or a cracked rib or temporary projectile vomiting but you don't have a disabled badge, are you justified in using one of these spaces?

The description as disabled spaces isnt entirely correct either. The spaces are generally allocated as part of the Blue Badge Scheme and primarily for people with severe walking impairments. They are not for pregnant women, people with heavy shopping or multiple children. None of these are a genuine disability. It is a criminal offence to use the blue badge illegally but not to park in their spaces without the badge as far as I know. I don't think anyone would take exception to someone parking in these spaces with has a temporary disability like a broken leg etc.

The main issue in NI is that half the place are claiming DLA (I would suspect a huge percentage are swinging the lead) so they will all think they have an entitlement to these spaces.

I found it noticeable that the Sainsbury's in the Kennedy Centre in West Belfast has a huge number of disabled and mother and baby spaces.

Indiana is the most cringe-making poster on this by a long way.

The new newry swimming pool has seriously over edged the number of disabled spaces, there must be 30 or more.

The feeling of being sold something. Especially from a multi level marketing company through your friend's wife. "Just try these free samples"...

Especially if he has a mirror taped to the top of his shoe.
