What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

[Adrian]

Owain ( [e-mail]) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Dave.

I also saw the same driver get out of his car, very nimbly I might add, and go into the store. Perhaps he has a disabled wife, but then he should not be using the BB parking slots if she is not with him.

Having said that, it does not follow that a BB driver has an observable impediment that prevents him from driving. It may be something that occurs after he has exerted himself. I have a friend like that. Half his heart is dead.

[Dave]

I understand that. See a post I made earlier :-)

[Dave]

Only his wing mirror? I would have made sure that other things dropped off :-)

Here's a text version.

Sorry!

Don't blow your top and make sure the other driver gets extremely embarrassed. Get some Avery labels, about A5 size, and print on them something like.....

'Thank you for parking so close to me that I could not get a wheel chair up to my door to get my aged mother out, but what the heck, you have total mobility'.

Stick them on the drivers side window, just to educate them. The stickier the glue on the label, the better :-))

There's a lot more to apostrophes than that :-)

Or perhaps it's The Greengrocers' Basic Guide?

I would not take grammatical advice from anyone using "where'd" - but then again, there is a hint in the URL, "humour".

[Mary Fisher]

Yes. What was funny about "aboyt"?

Yes - to put it bluntly.

If you're not disabled enough to have a blue badge then don't park there.

A doctor is the person who can decide whether or not you're disabled, not you.

"I had to pop out to Tesco, his (shop) earlier today."

[Dave]

Bin there, done that. But the badge used to be Orange. It has no authority.

Which has absolutely no authority. You can paint whatever you like on private ground, it makes not a jot of difference to the law of the land.

If I chose, I could park my car in either a parent and child, or a cripples corner spot and the supermarket would not take any step to prevent me. If they did, I just have to take them to court and show that they are predgiseced against an able bodied person.

What does p**s me off, is the disabled parkings in the mother and child slots when my dauther has to park well away from the supermarket door

[Dave Liquorice]

You don't need money to entertain yourself. Stop that, you'll go blind. B-)

Snap. Many English teachers I find are hopeless. They just don't seem able to explain things using simple words and examples or have great difficulty grasping the fact that their pupil really doesn't have a clue what a past participle is.

[Dave Liquorice]

So only disabled people who use/need a wheelchair can use the BB spaces?

[petrolcan]

But by entering their land you have agreed to the T&C's that they have displayed around the car park. I'd love to see you go to court and see you reason your parking in a disabled spot when you are able bodied.

[Dave Liquorice]

Ah....

Ahhhh..... So we end up with:

"I had to pop out to the shop of Tesco earlier today."

Well the mud might be a tad clearer, but not a lot.

[Conor]

Are they hell. Every supermarket I've been to that has parent and child spaces has a clear unambiguous picture of an adult and child.

Guess you're one of the muppets they made the mistake with.

[Conor]

How did someone so stupid and narrow minded get a job in aerospace? Mind you, you could be the teaboy.

Common sense..like knowing that sticking your hand in a fire isn't a bright idea.

And as for the problem solving, there aren't that many things which only have a single approach to achieve the same aim.

What does a teaboy get paid at BAe nowadays?

Why? Incapable of working it out for yourself?

[Conor]

Is this thread a magnet for stupid people? The sign of a white wheelchair on a blue background is the internationally recognised symbol for disability.

[Ben Blaney]

I *think* I'm right in saying that it's perfectly legal to kill fuckwits like that.

There might even be a reward.
