Are you able bodied

[Doc Spock]

Took one of my aunties to-day to the railway station at picadilly, manchester. She is going to see her sister in the lakes.

In the parking lot , in the disabled section there was on eof those little smart cars, 2 seater no boot etc. Disability ticket on display. My problem, if you are disabled how the hell do you get into this little matchbox car. Taking the pi55 I thjought.

your related to a fish?

[Doc Spock]

Very sharp Bob.

Why would someone with a disability be unable to get into a small car?

[dot.hawkes]

oh that means your auntie's train will have passed by my house and i never waved : ((

[Doc Spock]

It just occurred that if you can contort yourself to squeeze into a small space you can walk 500 yards.

Depends on the disability...I have a disabled parking badge as I have emphysema and can't walk far,I am capable of getting into small cars if need be though :-)

Hi Dock
My Sister in the USA took on eof those cars for a test drive last weekend. Not yet on the roads in USA yet.
She said there was lots of leg room in the car.

My experience is based on a bloke I used to live next door to. Able bodied but managed to get a car on motorbility.

Lots of folk take the pi55 in this country. Give the genuine ones a bad name.

I get what u mean, my old mum cant get in/out the bath never mind a wee cart thingy

Oh reminds me of a brill joke that would get banned from here for sure lol

[Doc Spock]

Go for it weall

[helliebobs]

So Doc because of your 'experience', you assume this person in the railway station carpark was the same?
I work with people with disabilities and there are hundreds of different types. Maybe this one was genuine.

[aka pixi]

I know someone on full disabiltiy due to being an alcoholic, she would be able to get in and out of the car so long as she wasnt drunk.

[weeal]

I better post it in the correct 'category' then Doc..see jokes (if its allowed lol)

You don't need to have a physical disability to obtain a disabled parking permit.x

[Doc Spock]

The news to-day says things are being tightened up, bogus certificates etc. Good thing.

[Doc Spock]

Thanks for the joke weaal, that was good.
