Points duly
taken, Michael.
However, my late
first wife - who suffered from a
severe form of
rheumatoid arthritis (NOT "Arth
uritis", I
hasten to
add!
) - never bothered getting an
'orange badge', as it
was back in the
1970s and early '80s (not
even for when it came to driving her [
equally~disabled] mother around)

... until her GP reminded her that
she, herself, more than qualified for one. Which, of course, she then
got, NO problem.
