    We were very badly let down 5

    We were very badly let down 5 years ago when it came to activating a funeral plan my parents had taken out.

    These days, you’re on you’re own with this stuff  – the old Equal Opportunties Commission seemed to be little more than a vaguely sympathetic a call centre.

    The funeral company were evasive when I complained.  I’d have had to have gone to court to get anywhere, the moment had passed and who’s got the time? 

    The potential disability discrimination problem here is not the drive thru, but that for whatever reason they didn’t/couldn’t enter the restaurant for service.

    It’s one of those “why can’t scooters use the drive-thru?”, which when there’s a shunt will turn into “why was there a scooter in the drive thru?”

    Not sure what liability would fall on the landowner there.

    please please please do cars: Calverton neighbours ‘fed up’ with dangerous e-scooters as police take action

    When asked about her thoughts on e-scooters, retired Dorothy Bollands, 74, of Calverton, said: “I’d rather they use the pavements. I don’t like them on the road as at about quarter past three you can’t move down the road with school traffic, and people just whip through on scooters.

    and we’re back to Skegness’s

    and we’re back to Skegness’s Fantasy Island and a new twist 

    A stressed dad says he has been “hounded” for seven months over a parking ticket due to his dyslexic son accidentally entering the wrong digits on the machine. Kieran Ramsey, 29, parked at Fantasy Island car park in Skegness with his one-year-old son on Saturday, April 23 and paid for a £6-day ticket but was left with a £30 fine due to entering the wrong car registration number.

    I’m a bit confused about who’s who. Middle Mr Marshall must be the one with dyslexia,  and maybe Mr Marshall senior is the registered keeper of the car? Or did the dyslexic one year old do the parking meter?

    And what they are derfending.

    And what they are defending. Very Victorian.
    Would it be unfair to suggest that if you are a trader reliant on parking you should provide it yourself, or doesn’t it work that way?

    Last ditch attempt’ to halt ‘devastating’ changes to seafront

    “The lack of parking will just give people, at a time of a cost of living crisis, another reason not to come out and spend money. The demographic of Clevedon means there are a lot of older people, some who have mobility problems who need convenient parking.”

    “The system along the seafront has always worked well – The Victorians got it right – and most see no reason to change it.”

    non-story alert here, but welcome to our world, guys. I admire the courage of whoever went out of their way to intervene here as this article would follow as surely as a burnt mouth from biting into an apple pie too fast: 

    ‘Humiliated’ pensioners on mobility scooters turned away from Lincoln McDonald’s drive-thru

    “I felt as if I was discriminated against because of my age”

    “I am 71 and I have had a stroke. That’s why I find it difficult standing and walking around sometimes.” 

    “I felt really upset about it all. I have got a license plate on the front of mine. It’s all registered.”

    Tesco shoppers threaten boycott as 28p electric car charge branded ‘disgusting’

    It was previously free to charge electric vehicles at the supermarket

    but my free charge-up

    Another shopper said: “I was using the free charging as an incentive to shop at Tesco, the only supermarket around my way to offer free charging. Now I’ll spread my wings a bit and shop at other places too.”
