She wouldn't expect neighbours to get time off work and I hardly think neighbours bosses would consider it a valid reason to have time off either. All situations are not equal.

Yes I accept and agree all of that. Mum went to hospital free.....How did mum get home?

She persuaded a taxi driver to trust her enough to bring her home on the off chance the little old lady down the road with the spare key would be in and she'd be able to get into the house to get some money to pay him.

Good and I hope mum is well.

She did recover fully from the leg injury. She passed away from an entirely unrelated cause.

Sorry to hear that Willow. I know we both mentioned mums and sadly my mother is no longer with us.

i didnt attack the disabled i said they get catered for their disablilities ie: the closer parking and extra room , having a disability should NOT mean you shouldnt have to put your hand in your pocket like everyone else and as for the coment about seeing them pennyless over parking fees i have never read so much drivel because people on disability get a whole load more money than say a person who is on income support yet they have to pay parking fees and if half the morons who have comented on this thread actualy read what i put they would see what i actualy said was that if everyone else has to pay so should disabled people , what i did not say was disabled people should pay because they are disabled nor did i say i agree with parking fees

as for willow who seems to think she has proven some kind of point there are plenty of places outside of the hospital to park on yellow lines where you arnt causing an obstruction so if you dont want to put your hand in your pocket find them, my mother has a blue badge and i park on double yellows and single yellow lines when taking her places and have even checked with the traffic warden that i am ok to use it where i do on the occasions he or she has been around,parking fees at hospitals is a fact so get used to it, yes its disgusting that anyone has to pay especialy staff but the reality is there are charges so they have to be paid,all i can see is a bunch of blue badge holders upset that they are no longer getting extra special treatment attacking somone who dare say that you arnt that special and should be treated the same as everybody else

thankyou to the ones who have posted who agree that been disabled dosnt automaticly give you the right not to pay your way

ps: i noticed the karma thing this forum has and the comments left yet for some reason my life or thoughts on this matter dont seem to have changed at all, maybe if i had a blue badge i would get more sympathy

I think you'll find the negative karma was for the foul mouthed expletives you used in the now edited post.

can you honestly say you have never sat there and though about telling the occasional moaner to shut the **** up

WillowTheWhisp - I do believe that jimbob100 in his post #49 quoted:

Parking on Yellow Lines
Nearside/offside parking for Blue Badge holders is allowed on yellow lines as long as:

you do not cause an obstruction,
there are no loading restrictions, and
you do not park for longer than 3 hours.

And you misquote him and tell him he is wrong then go and make the same quote.

Is it so important to your over inflated ego that you are always right?

Quite often but there is such a thing as forum etiquette.

when she eventualy gets off the floor can somone inform here that there is actualy a service that will take you to hospital for specialist appointments and treatments etc my friend booked his through is local g.p surgery to take him from accrington to preston hospital,it will get you there in plenty of time but it could be well before your appontment time and the pickup may be a lot later than when you are finished but if you realy dont want to pay thats a risk you got to take , oh and you have to share a bus with other sick people if it isnt beneath you

Before having a 'Pop' at someone it may be a good idea to read all of the thread. If you read the post with attitude you will not get a favourable response from anyone.
The subject of transport to Preston has been covered.
This is an open forum and if someone has a gripe this is the place to do it always bearing in mind that this forum is picked up by major search engines.

Well said, Jimbob.

I am pretty well fed up of reading the whingers on here, constantly complaining about about some aspect of the NHS. What the hell the supposed right to free parking has to do with clinical care, I do not know. The next thing we know this lot will be demanding a free car breakdown and recovery service on the NHS.

This thread is about parking charges nothing to do with clinical care,
You should know better.

Oh dear! And There was me thinking that all the previous posts on this thread were concerned with parking charges in hospital car parks. I shall have to pay alot more attention next time.

Anyway, if people don't want to pay parking charges they can always walk, use public transport, and for those in need, use the NHS patient transport facility. Or they again, they can park and not pay and then get clamped. There are plenty of choices there - so what's the problem?
