Would you ?

A moral dilema.



There is an event that I wish to attend, it doesn't happen often ( if ever ) & to miss it would be terrible. The tickets are for sale and all the best ones have gone. BUT right at the front there are a number of reserved seats for wheelchairs at the bargain price of ?10.00 inc. a seat for a helper/carer.


Now, rightly or wrongly I could use my "acquired" wheelchair to gain that special place right up front near the stage.


I so want to be there but do I do it ?


It is after all a rare opportunity & I could "front it out" if necessary.

Sadly no.


I got over the whole "take-that" thing first time round.


I saw Robbie close up a fair few times when he was going of the rails ( it wasn't pretty ) but that's another story for another day.


This event to me is way closer, more intimate. It is a cultural institution of a show that i'd kick myself ( with my newly broke foot, of course ) if I missed.


I'm sure as hell I won't, but where I sit is up for grabs.

So, a NO from Katie (good girl) numbers.


BUT, I could be as unfortunate or fortunate ( in my view ) as them on the day.


Couldn't I ?

You would only get caught out...because 'the tapping of the feet' is an impossible thing to control at a Tom Jones gig Annette, only to then be named and shamed accross the Daily Mail and I suspect that if you didn't need a wheelchair going in there, you'll need one by the time you get out!


Having said that....a plaster cast on both legs beforehand might help.

So I take it as a yes from DJKQ



Oh, & without doubt I would "immerse" myself in the role.


Casts & chairs and absolute knowledge of my condition would be pivotal on the day, after all who'd want to be outed in such a way.

Then buy an ordinary seat further back and if, on the day itself, there is a wheelchair/carer space available at the front then take it. Is this at the South Bank? I've seen people moving forward into those spaces mid-concert before and the staff don't have a problem with that if they're not being used. I can't believe you're even considering posing in a wheelchair - it wrong.

Then you'll have to spend at least a couple of weeks trundling round ED in your wheelchair trying to re-establish your bona fides.

I notice you haven't actually said No, in which case it's a YES then.

I don't think you have the willpower to stay seated, and was planning on making a couple of thousand or so from the video I'd sell to a tabloid. You'd then have to emigrate, or devote yourself to a life furthering good causes. ;-)

Are you sure you didn't get this from a rejected Seinfeld script?


And yes, of course yes! Just remember to get out early so you don't end up like 'Roy' in 'The IT Crowd' (series 2 ep 1)... jezus this plot device HAS been used a lot...

Well Joe


It doesn't actually say "Disabled" on the allocated seats, it says "wheel chair user"


So, if I use a wheelchair surely I qualify, no ?

Hmmmmmm...now I know that you are just winding us all up! I should have known. Bad, bad, Nette.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
