Sir Gaerfyrddin. He/him.
what is wrong with people?

why are takeaway deliveries more important than people in wheelchairs?

Exactly!

Still missing the point.

You're lucky.

You can see - and 'step over' an obstacle like that.

Now put yourself in the place of people who can't.

Punch up, don't punch down.

How is it a trade off?

What else are we going to give away because in someone's mind something else is worse?

Some us want a better world.

Clearly some of us aren't that bothered.

We approve.

No lecturing on my part.

You be you.

there's never any need to reply to a post about a clear hazard saying 'ah, but something else is worse'. Never.

People doing stuff is always better.

So what happens if it meets a wheelchair user or a person with a pushchair?

They've been trialling these for a long while - saw one around Elephant & Castle getting on for a decade ago now.

On average I should think they last about 40 minutes before getting turned over, robbed and set on fire / pushed in a canal.

boring UK person in Wales here - Britain/British already includes Wales & Scotland, but the important part was that you thought of us, and that's great ;-)

Mine were the opposite ; after loss of free on site parking, drivers were allowed to claim back the price of nearby car parking.

When I asked for the same subsidy to cycle or use public transport, it was refused. When I suggested they then remove it altogether...

'we can't penalise the drivers!'

Gawd, are we going to become a tax haven for rich morons? :-(
