Mobility Scooters In Benidorm

[sandyRoe]

Are they used by those who are legless(in a drunken sense), people who genuinely need them, or a combination of both?

Neither - they are banned

So blue badge holders 55 and over can use them

Watching 'catch up' TV has left me far behind the times :-(

Obviously the Benidorm officials were as disgusted as you were by the misuse of the mobility scooters, although they are not particularly cheap to hire if you don't need them. I think younger family members were borrowing their older relatives scooters.

Were you going to do a Pub Crawl Pilgrimage Sandy?

For some reason that reminds me of an episode of Para Handy, a coffin and a steep hill. ☺

[hc4361]

Love Para Handy, have every episode.

hc - you must have Scottish blood in you. We have an odd sense of humour.

Not as far as I know, big fan of Still Game, too - have every episode :D

If i remember correctly, fat British tourists(sunburnt), usually rode around on them.

Even the cheapest are around £15 a day - I can think of better things to spend my money on. I can see they are a boon for those who genuinely need to use one.
