M6 toll, good news
Following up to Adrian
No, but they are normally less-able to make use of public transport alternatives But they're no less able to use the normal M6 If people don't like the M6 toll, why the meanness of spirit in deflecting the anger onto the disabled? If they get a good deal, good luck to them. If you don't like the toll, tell your MP. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walking-food-photos, Wasdale, Thames, London etc "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site and same for Spain at "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

were saying : No, but they are normally less-able to make use of public transport alternatives But they're no less able to use the normal M6 If people don't like the M6 toll, why the meanness of spirit in deflecting the anger onto the disabled? If they get a good deal, good luck to them. If you don't like the toll, tell your MP. It's not "deflection of anger". I personally don't care much either way if the M6 relief is toll or not. If I'm heading that way, I may well use the toll road. I also have a blue badge in the car for my mother-in-law (and no, I don't abuse it), in a wheelchair with MS. I just don't see the point. If a disabled driver's using that route, then I don't see the need for a discount. If they need the time benefit, then great, they're probably doing it for business, so can pay. If they don't need the time benefit, then fine. Use the "old" M6. |

No need. They'll accept a bit of a bad back. Now that's ironic as driving just makes my back worse. |

In article ,
says... In article , says... Really. Now there is a chance. I have siatica. Have been diagnosed by the doctor, and had heavy duty cocodomol to help it, and physio when it was particularly bad. You've got no problem then. Also pop in a claim to the Disability Living Allowance people in Preston. You are joking I hope Conor. While you might be right that I could claim, It hasn't disabled me enough that I would feel right doing it. Hasn't affected me for a year, apart from a twinge when the weather got colder, but that could have been something to do with me crawling and tristing under the car to rehang the exhaust after a retail park speed bump knocked it off. The physio and painkillers sorted it out enough for me to strecth and move enough to clear it. I won't become one of those people you see on disabilaty, snapped by a a detective, carrying a piano, or playing basket ball. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com |

I just got the impression from your post that it was giving you alot of grief and you would be entitled. But seeing as you're pretty much OK then there's no point. -- Conor A high I.Q is like a Jeep.
