Yes it was correctly displayed. When I caught up with the parking
attendant he said, "Oh well you can go down to the office tomorrow and
get it cancelled." Not true - all appeals have to be made in writing,
and the council are very careful not to tell you where the office is
so that you can't go and appeal in person! Incidently (and you may not
believe this) near where I parked there is a designated disabled
parking area that allows you to park there from 4pm to 10 am. Yes I
did get those times the right way round.( the pharmacy did not open
until 10 am!). So if us crips want to do any shopping we have to do it
under cover of darkness, when the shops are shut, so you able-bodied
people are not embarassed by our limping and dribbling. ( I am told
the badge allows me to grope 18 year old au pair girls though!)

They dont tell you where it is for fear of attacks I imagine. Not surprising
considering their wardens give out tickets to everybody just to hit their
targets...disgraceful! I hope you win your appeal.

You dont need a badge to do that, just a willing 18 year old au pair girl
;-)

That's OK then. Even at my age I have masses of appeal!

Even with all that limping and dribbling? lol.
