Hate to burst your bubble, but the day your leg falls off, or organs
pack
in, or any other dibillitating event happens, a little blue card doesn't
appear in a puff of smoke in your windscreen.

No one suggested it did. However until the little blue card does
appear, you should not use spaces reserved for those with little blue
cards.

I only have mild problems, and could do most of my shopping after midnight
if pushed, when the normal spaces close to the doors are always free.

However, you're saying that if someone does have some horrific disability
spring up on them, they shouldn't go shopping till the paperwork's done? I
know councils are a level of pettiness all to themselves, but I'd like to
think that supermarkets would just about comprehend that the poor legless/
neckless/ etc bugger genuinely requires that space, and not go jobsworth
crazy. Hardly in their best interests to say "I'm sorry sir, I can see
you're missing a couple of limbs, and your breathings somewhat laboured, and
that haunted look in your eyes is rather a concern, but you 'aven't got a
blue card, so you can't park there", is it?
