Oh, I'd happily put my hand up to that one. I do get entirely irrational
and make a fool of myself over some things. Parking for the disabled
being one. Car driving is so essential and makes so much difference to
so many lives.

It only needs the hint of vigilante do-gooder self-appointed BB police
to set me into demonette mode.

Grrrrrr. I really do need a good rant, now and again.

I'm still trying to calm down about what they have done at a local
community centre. The disabled bays were fine. They have moved them to a
different area, nearer to the doors. Fine. Except it needs people to
reverse at right angles into a narrow, stone-wall flanked steep uphill
drive and then negotiate a blind right angle bend from that into a
little wider part containing the end to end bays. Skirting around any
car in the first bays, if present.

Needless to say, the bays are hardly used.

Grrrrrr..
