Blue badge attack unjustified

Sir—I used the car-park on Corporation Street and would like to point out to the “gentleman” who had a go about me using my adult daughter’s blue parking badge and a disabled space when we’re ‘obviously not disabled’!

For your information kind sir, unlike your “poor” companion who was in a wheelchair and therefore obviously qualifies for this wonderful parking perk, my daughter’s seizure disorder is not a talisman for her to wear with such obvious pride.

Sadly, the usual course of events is for her to drop to the floor without warning and have a seizure, experiencing sight loss, incontinence and far too many fractures and dislocations to keep track of.

Unlike your good sel,f I don’t have the visual advantage you have with your companion and can’t therefore parade myself as her helper.

It is obvious that I’m not in the same league of pious servitude as yourself.

I had just had to leave my daughter unattended in the Riverside Cafe as she didn’t feel well and I needed to move our car nearer to her as I had had to park at the other end of the car park as all disabled bays were occupied on our arrival.

Your wife and companion were outraged and embarrassed by your tirade and I hope they don’t let you forget this for a long time.

I wish I knew your full name you cantankerous, pre-judging, condescending scrap of inhumanity! One day It might be you on the receiving end!

I am more than willing to provide you with copies of her medical notes ‘Kind Sir’, should you wish to obtain further proof of her condition and my malingering! Not all disabilities are instantly visible, my friend! Please think next time!
