Really. Now there is a chance. I have siatica. Have been diagnosed by
the doctor, and had heavy duty cocodomol to help it, and physio when it
was particularly bad.

You've got no problem then. Also pop in a claim to the Disability
Living Allowance people in Preston.

You are joking I hope Conor.
While you might be right that I could claim, It hasn't disabled me
enough that I would feel right doing it.

In that case, you're a better person than an _awful_ lot of Blue Badge
holders out there.

On a sort of related issue - my wife is now too pregnant to get out of
normal parking spaces - I've got to stop, let her out, and then move in.

We went shopping last week, and it was a bit drizzly. Bearing in mind her
difficulties, we thought we'd try the Parent & Baby slots. None left
unsurprisingly. Of the 10 or so they had, only _one_ was obviously a car
with baby, having a car seat in it (not that that means much). The rest had
no sign of any baby occupancy.

I then took a look at the disabled slots. Another ~10 of those, but the
_total_ shock was that they were 80% full of blue badge holders! The not
total shock : The 2 that weren't were 4x4s.

Pete.
