why. Just WHY?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Just throw a Barbara Cartland lookalike in a turbo invalid cart into the mix and you have our local Tescos - she had my 6 yr old daughter over without even a second glance!

Hope she was ok - I think people should have to have licences and insurance for these motorised scooters, most of the drivers don't care if pedestrians are around and just drive at full speed regardless 1996 Discovery 1 300TDI ES Biarritz Blue, sold

We are already retired only hope you got to live long enough to retire.or perhaps stay at work doing over time at weekends so you can keep paying even more in to my pension fund and leave the shops clear at weekends for me and my fellow retireies Just when I thought I knew all lifes answers they went and changed the bloody questions

Woody she was ruffled but fine, kids are quite bouncy at that age! A mobility vehicle is not something that should be seen or allowed in supermarkets.

OFF/ON TOPIC
Cinderella is now 95 years old.
After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship.
One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother.
Cinderella said, 'Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all these years'?
The fairy godmother replied, 'Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?'
Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some thoughtful consideration, she uttered her first wish:
'The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my disability cheques, and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension.
Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold.
Cinderella said,
'Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother'
The fairy godmother replied,
'It is the least that I can do.
What do you want for your second wish?'
Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said,
'I wish I were young and full of the beauty and youth I once had.'
At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful young visage returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside her that had been dormant for years.
And then the fairy godmother spoke once more:
'You have one more wish; what shall it be?'
Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, 'I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man.'
Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man so beautiful the likes of him neither she nor the world had ever seen.
The fairy godmother said,
'Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life.'
With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the fairy godmother was gone as suddenly as she appeared.
For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each other's eyes.
Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.
Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, & held her close in his young muscular arms.
He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispered...

What Uncle Ray said, I just hope you dont have the need for a wheel chair.
Not much different following an elderly person round Tesco etc., than following

PATIENT feel like tipping some of them into the freezer
and i don't knock little kids over
never have need of a wheel chair , but if i did i would shop online or send someone more capable to save blocking the ailes
and just to end , i wish thay had some respect for others instead of thinking get out of MY way i'am in a wheel chair / mobility cart .
the reason i say that is i have my foot run over my shins grazed a number of times Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

The Postoffice really hacks me off, can only get there at weekends, and I end up queueing behind the elderly that have'nt collected their pensions...........................
This is one place they should be restricted to weekdays.
