I think you must live in my road Jackangel, we have a similar car-crazy family with a floating badge. I also have a query re disabled bay. My neighbour (a cracking 97 year old) quite rightly has a blue badge. A space has been provided for her outside her house. BUT, she doesn't drive, it's her son, and 95% of the time he is driving/parking without her in the car, therefore he has a guaranteed space outside his house which makes parking (already tight because of the school) a little harder for the rest of us. Am I being unreasonable by thinking this is unfair. [i'm slightly whingeing because I just struggled a quarter of mile with large box of heavy veg cos I couldn't park anywhere near and I do know I'm fortunate to have a car, and I do know it's bad for the environment Sean]
