I still stand by my point though (well. I would if I could).

Lil, Sydney and everyone else who thinks my views are wrong and uninformed

I am sure that with asthma/ RSD/ fibro etc you don't park your car and then run/ skip/ etc into the store?? I am imaging that with all of the conditions it would be a slow hunched walk if you are anything like I used to be and like people I know with fibro/ RSD that walk.

My complaint is not aimed at people who have a condition that means it is difficult but possible for them to walk... but instead at people who treat disabled parking places as a quicker way to get into the shops and which means they avoid paying for parking etc....

are any of you from the UK? you might be able to be a) less offended and b) understand my post better than people from different cultures.

I am not trying to say that people with hidden disabilities shouldn't have parking permits - I'm saying that people who have NO disabilities should definetly not have parking permits or park in disabled bays. Surely this is a concept that we can all agree on?

..........unless you can all hop, skip and run round town/ a supermarket and not spend the next week in immense pain... in which case.... congratulations!
