It's very hard to get a blue badge in Southwark: I had to try twice before getting it and it doesn't enable you to park in a residents' parking area anyway. I don't qualify for a disabled space just because I have a blue badge.
I started this thread all those months ago because some b*****s were trying to steal my neighbour's motorcycle. The nationality of these men is not relevant and I was not expecting all this unpleasant nastiness to take over.
