i made the mistake of leaving lovely non-touristy secrety pretty shepherds market for regent street. it was FULL of 25 year olds wearing santa costumes, which seems to be this year's christmas jumper. obnoxious twats screeching and drinking in the street.

although i may have been biased by my inability to consume alcohol.

It's scientific fact that wearing a Christmas jumper makes you at least 48% more lollier and wackier than non-Christmas jumper-wearers.

Not in comparison to not having working legs.
Her placing her child being quiet for five minutes in the middle of all her self hate and sleep deprivation as more important than a wheelchair user being able to use the wheelchair area makes her a spastic and a dickhead. She ought to have been forcefully removed from the bus, been publicly whipped and had her child removed by Social Services.
( Kroney, Mon 8 Dec 2014, 12:15, Reply)

It would be better if she had been forced to wake her child and then all the other passengers could have spent the remainder of the journey tutting and judging her for not being able to stop it from screaming.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 8 Dec 2014, 12:18, Reply)

It was in a pushchair. Asleep.
Wheeling a pushchair is not a violent motion. She simply didn't want to move.
( Kroney, Mon 8 Dec 2014, 12:19, Reply)

I think you have misunderstood what was being asked of her.
In order for them all to travel on the bus, they wanted her to lift her child out of its pushchair and fold the chair down to be stored as luggage elsewhere.

Doesn't matter really.

The wheelchair space is for wheelchairs. That's why it's called the wheelchair space.

The buses I generally use have Wheelchair & Pushchair spaces.

Anyway, you could always argue that the baby was disabled on the basis that it was unable to walk or move any real distance under its own power. It's still a chair with wheels.

You'd have thought that a more experienced cripple would've realised that.
( Muns, Mon 8 Dec 2014, 12:24, Reply)

All I know is that legislation specifies "space for a wheelchair".
It doesn't mention pushchairs. In my opinion that means that a wheelchair trumps a pushchair.

In any case, common fucking decency requires that you get the fuck up and let the wheelchair guy use the damned space.
