USING WHEELS.

I thought I would share my thoughts with you about using a mobility scooter.  Obviously will hopefully be of interest, or make people smile, who use a wheelchair.
Sign seen on the ring road in Wolverhampton, "safe for wheelchair users", presumably to cross the road.  Maybe, Mr Signwriter, it would be better if the sign was not about 7 feet in the air, a wheelchair, scooter user may well get a crick in the neck trying to read it!
Sign in B & Q "wheelchairs are available to use for customers"  Don`t get me wrong, the thought is there, and it is a good one.  The sign, however, was in the wrong place, it was on the way out of the store!! Surely it should be put up in the foyer on the way in?
Jewellers please take note.  We went to H.Samuel in the city centre to ask about a watch repair. We had to wait ages while a phone call was made, then the lady could not remove the old strap from the watch in order to put on a new strap. I was rather stupidly walking with my stick, as I thought we would not be long, and it was not too far from the car. There was no chair to sit on whilst waiting, forcing me to walk back to the car and leave hubby to deal with his watch transaction on his own. He even mentioned to the lady that I was having problems, her only attempt to help was to ask if there was room outside on the bench! Ofcourse there was no room on the bench, and as she admitted, there never is! A chair please H.Samuels, some people need to sit!
Just to finish, and while I am moaning I may aswell carry on. On bin day please take your bins in if you are at home, its a hell of a job sometimes to drive round them on a mobility scooter, especially if left on the path right outside my house. I know its impossible if you are at work, so I would appeal to bin men to try and push them out of the way please.  The other, and last, moan goes to cars which park on the pavement. You have a road to park on, if you park on the pavement and take up the whole pavement I am forced to ride on the road on my mobility scooter which could well get me killed! Please think, it may be you on the mobility scooter one day. Thanks.
