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?

Not for the first time I either write what I meant wrongly or you've misunderstood what I've said. What I mean is does a family with a son with a none physical disability deserve a blue badge space outside a supermarket more that a bloke whom lost his legs in the Falklands war and uses a wheelchair?? One space who should het it. ??? I'm not saying they are easy to het it's the criteria people need to meet to get them thatnim against. Theyve allowed alot more people the choice to apply and probably get them but have you noticed and extra blue badge space where you shop work etc?? Thought not.
As for the post office that's not my option.  It's the option of people who I've spoken too and read on letters pages. We all het old so people should remeber that although I dont see why millionaires o er 65 should get free travel when someone on jobseekers suppost going to a job interview should have to pay
