Calamari, You are so, so wrong again. I have a blue badge and I have never found it difficult getting in and out of my car that is parked in a purposely made disable bay. Just drive into one and see what you think and then you may think I have no venemous tounge, but you might like to look at your own.
Once again, majorp's venemous tounge has lashed out. " They cannot fiddle with those widths." Just wait until you are disabled and have to struggle getting out of your car because some inconsiderate bar steward has parked too close to you.

@majorp - I would assume once the car park reopens and it gets near capacity there will be a few complaints going in the direction of tdc....i may be wrong, but time will tell.
And who is going to complain to TDC??????????
