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

The stat presented was simply that "the average person in the UK has less than 1 child". I was simply showing how that quote can be misleading and actually serve to show that there are lots of children

- hence more people without children. My logic is correct in this instance, but you've now tried to say it's gibberish by presenting a different stat!

And that's a totally different statistic which has no bearing at all on the points I'd presented. Are you *seriously* suggesting that to present a different stat somehow discredits or even relates to the logic I'd presented WRT the original, and quite different, stat?

No Andrew, I asked you to show me *your* research.

I doubt if I were to look for "AndrewR's research" on Google, I'd find it. So again I ask you, show me your research.

Owain ( snipped-for-privacy@stirlingcity.coo.uk) 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

You lucky thing. We only had sherry in the house at Christmas. I never dared wander out of bed, the stairs creaked ...

Mary

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

Dave

Here's a text version.

's OK

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 :-))

Dave

Is that IT?

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

Or perhaps it's The Greengrocers' Basic Guide?

So what? I regularly use East Midlands airport, which is a damned sight further than 30 miles from where I live (and from the supermarket I use).

I can't imagine any supermarket being daft enough to make their shop nigh on impossible to find, but you're still missing the point - they might well know exactly where it is and use it normally on a regular basis.

Eh? How on earth could you possibly know where they were coming from or going to?

I'm sorry, but I still don't see your point. It can take me ten minutes to fill a trolly, and if you're going to go and get some food etc, on the way from an airport, you might as well make the visit worthwhile and buy what you'll need for a few days.

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."

Is that why these days with birth control and time they weren'tr 'designed' to have they poke their noses into stuff they don't seem competent to handle eh?

;-)

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

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.

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

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.

Two subjects in the orginal comment, to much brain strain to work out how to spell lacertion.

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.
