One of the presenters of the Last Leg, with funny hands and

short of money.

Meaning a disabled parking permit should only be available to the poor?

I thought they were availble to those that are disabled, or at least that's who they should be aimed at.


That would cure the problem since they probably couldn't afford a car.

Or you could insist they hand in their application forms at an office on a mountain top somewhere.


So he has a disability, but is he 'disabled' ?.

Would you be willing to trade a leg for a disabled parking permit?

Bit of an unfair question, would anyone with one false leg settle for a closer parking space if they gave up their remaining working leg ?

I'm not sure how disabled badges indicate how disabled a person is, but I would assume that someone with no arms and no legs would get a higher disability rating than someone with just one disabled leg, and the fact that they can win an olypmic running meddle shou,d mean that their disabled spot could be located in the same area as anyone else that has never won an omlypic medal for running.
