I was looking up a blue badge for myself the other day. I don't qualify. You have to be blind, non-working arms so you can't feed a meter or be unable to walk.
I get really out of breath, I have pulmonary arterial hypertension. This is a bad thing and kills you. I can walk round Sainburys more or less. It is quite a small one and I need a couple of rests, biscuits are way down the far end! If I had to park in the half of the car park furthest from the shop I probably couldn't manage the shopping. I saw my consultant today. She said I should have a badge really and also decided I had two new illnesses bringing the total to 8. My daughter took me shopping yesterday. We happened to park just opposite the disabled slots and watched badged car drivers leaping out and striding into the shop. I can't do that, I struggle. It seems very unfair.
