I see loads of battleaxes on these things, they ride on the pavement and give no quarter when it comes to congested pavements. One last week drove into my granddaughters pram and shouted at my son and his girlfriend that they had hit her with the pram.

My local supermarket usually has two or three old fogeys blocking the aisles on them.

If I was to ride my bicycle on the pavement I would get old bill sending me to see the magistrate. Yet they let these things block pavement, drive into people etc. All because they are so bloody PC that they dare not tell them the truth. Most of them are capable of walking, just too bloody lazy.

As for the disabled.....I have no problem. My brother in law has spina biffida and would he be in one of these things. No bloody way. He dumps his car as close to where he wants to be. Jumps into his chair and gives it a damm good push and off up the road far faster than I can run. when his progress is blocked by one of these batteries on wheels he gives them a mouthful.

The one in the photo. I can smell the cooking sherry from here. or is that urine

THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO YOU - lets hope YOU dont need one of those one day - you'll sure have to eat your words then WONT you , or would you rather just fester your old age away a prisoner in your own home????? I take your comments bout your BIL but elderly people dont always have that sort of strength, maybe dont have a car and this is the only way they may be able to get out and about. As for the last comment - Shame on you
