Is it a fashion accessory, because I have seem some that are decorated.

This post was not intended to offend anyone and if it did I apologise.

However there are people out there who exaggerate their disabilities (to get a blue badge?)and this may have a negative affect on our perceptions to the detriment of the truly disabled.

Hi, I notice that michaleen oge has not posted of late and is not contactable off site. I wish to say that I have enjoyed his posts in the past and would look forward to more of the same. He is not a "Doom and Gloom" merchant and lends the site some much needed levity.
