Should you have to have a disabled badge to be able to park in a disabled place though?
I carried on working delivering parcels to places such as front shops in tesco stores while I had a double hernia. The shops are at the front so I have to deliver through the shop entrance, opticians, key cutting etc. I couldn't go on the sick, and couldn't do my job without great pain.
I remember one day having to ask an old man to help me unload some heavy metal strips. He scowled at me something critical, to which I explained he's fittier than me, which then made him feel awkward and me.
I never want to be in that situation again, I dreaded every day having to ask people to put parcels on my van that I can now lift with my little finger.
