Ignorant disabled parking violators and rude salesmen.

Close it I think- very emotive subject. I suspect there will be more said that really ought not be, unless you do.

Closing a thread like this is ridiculous. Remove the offensive posts if you must, but censoring disabled people's rights is disgusting.


Just my thoughts.

Don't think or express your thoughts Dave. I did that and now look what's happened! o_O

I work for a company that assists disabled people live a life in the community and independent living. Now a coupe of years ago I got a blooming ticket from a blue nose traffic warden. I had parked in a disabled bay to take my client to some entertainments. I went back to the car and why had I got a ticket? The car park was empty but because my client had special needs we needed to be close to the entrance and parked there in the required disabled bay.


I saw the traffic warden who was a private company and explained my name company etc and valid badges etc so why had I had a ticket.?


The traffic warden said you ae both able to get out the car etc


I explained the special needs my client had etc and got his number and contacted his office later that day


Still I had to pay £45


Loyal company I work for never even helped...... That friggin got my goat up.


I complained for over 8 months, the company still have not apologised for the insults to my client and myself or the wrongful ticket!!!!


Ps ( I hate people who abuse the disabled bays!!!

That's a load of cobblers, being disabled is a wide range of ailments, from not walking to not being able to walk far. That warden is a tool and so is your company, your company is discriminating against your client.

Would not happen in Jersey. Not sure if you have a local paper. In Jersey we have a paper which supports


a population of 100,000. Printed 6 out of 7 days in the week. Called mind you the Jersey Evening Post but


comes into the shop about midday.


Any thing that happens such as yours Robert there is a very well oiled letters to the editor section full every


evening. In a population of this size no one wants to lose either face of business. I suspect in case like yours


just mention of a letter to the JEP would have sorted things.


I know I bang on about Jersey but being a small population we and Guernsey are singled out for numerous


trials including from the medical aspect.


We also have a good section on births and deaths. I always take quick stressfull peep in the deaths to make


sure I am not there
