I even so someone get the 820 bus with there pass as the has a card with  hospital appointment on... but got off at low fell.with me and went to do shopping in co op.

Its  bit like blue badges for me. My mum couldnt walk. Drove around disabled spaces and none. Then you get people come out who look fit as a fiddle and jumping in these sports cars pulling out of diable bays. I know all disabilities arnt viable but where do you draw the line??

This is nonsense though, and again is akin to the comments section on the Daily Mail. There's a strict criteria for Blue Badges, which can be found on the Government website here. What they can't control though, is people other than who the badge is issued to, deciding to use it when they're not with the badge holder. That is like anything else though, such as able-bodied entitled motorists deciding to use disabled or parent & child bays. 

Regarding the Post Office queue, I'm not sure how it's the fault of OAPs that your employer won't offer you any flexibility to go to the post office, or indeed that the post office don't have sufficient staff to meet a lunchtime demand? Would you blame other businesses for having too much staff, because the queue at the sandwich shop is too long?
