Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Your mum sounds like a brave woman
Hey Humpty, best of luck to you and your mum. My Dad's spine is crumbling so he too can only walk short distances and tries to walk as much as he can. He's a very proud bloke so he wont let on how much pain he's in a lot of the time.
We too get the looks when we park up in a disabled bay. I haven't quite worked out how to treat these people yet, I might have to steal your line. All the best x
