Obviously the media doesn't help with all these "benefit" programs portraying the disabled as scroungers, she worked over 35 years till an injury in the 80s reared its ugly head, specialist was amazed she kept going for as long as she did, but it won!

Take care

You know what Spit, I haven't been around much lately but I have just opened up the Forum, & 'nothing much has changed'!

The 'Lounge' is still full of argument, some friendly ( long may this continue ) & some just inflammatory - I think that I shall spend less time there & more time here, & try to contribute more to this section from now on , because, as I see it, we need to support Volvo as they are great supporters of the disabled ,through the choices of cars with low deposits, now available through Motability for instance - they really must be commended for bringing in the XC60, and maybe I'll open a thread on it?

I'm sorry to hear about Mrs. Spits accident and her encounters with 'the uninitiated ', to some it can be very depressing being thought of as being different , but I say 'vivre le difference' Mrs S. - we're still the same people, we might now look a little different & we may have to live our lives a little differently, but so what, we're the same inside as we always were!

Different doesn't mean 'inferior ' !


Best regards to you both.
