1 February (Part 1) - “Self-entitled bastard”

Idiotic parkingI am several Council meeting reports behind the times which I shall blame partly on my disabled daughter who is skilled in the art of screwing up computers big time. If I claimed to have been involved in a certain amount of wheelchair pushing too it wouldn't be absolutely true because she has just had one made to measure - she is tiny - and electrically driven and imported from the USA. I am not joking when I say that it cost about the same as my car is worth.

On the way to the Liz line for a rare faultless trip to Farringdon I took this picture and while there showed it to my daughter. “Self-entitled bastard who gives disabled people a bad name.”

It happens regularly. Someone who thinks a Blue Badge is a passport to lawlessness (parking on junctions contravenes the Highway Code) forces traffic exiting Carrill Way to be on the wrong side of the road while waiting at the Stop Line and then legs it up the hill to the Abbey.

Those with wheelchairs or genuine disabilities generally park in New Road where there are disabled parking bays and a relatively flat route into the ruins.
