On our way home from Brandon the other day we called in to a
pub called the Coniston on the St Nicholas Park Estate. It's a nice friendly pub and the pint of Pedi
I had was really good. Anyway - on the
way home from there we had to turn around and find another route because of a
crash on the corner of Higham Lane and St Nics Drive. It wasn't too far a detour though and we were
home only a couple of minutes later than we should have done. Then yesterday I saw an item on a Facebook
page about another road closure in town after yet another crash.
This one was on Avenue Road by Coton Arches. Now then ... this one wasn't between two cars
though; no, it was a car and a mobility scooter rider. Nothing has been said about who was at fault
yet but the scooter rider was taken to
hospital with injuries to her pelvis. I
won't repeat everything I've just posted on Facebook after the comments from one
user, you can read for yourself here ... http://www.nuneaton-news.co.uk/News/Road-closed-following-collision-20130828135426.htm
The sort of comments made by Mr Gunn here is just the tip of
the iceberg when it comes to attitudes to the disabled. Society seems to be going backwards not
forward. Back to the times when disabled
people were shut away and never seen.
Back to when disabled people had no help and no voice. Mr Gunn will not be able to move us back into
the dark ages now that we are out of them; but he will find that his comments
on Facebook will not be tolerated these days if he continues to make them. Thing is, it's so sad that we have to go through
all this again simple because someone can't see any further than the end of
nose!
A change of direction here now. Our son Tom is soon to be taken to Germany by
a friend where he hopes to find a job and make a fresh start out there. Jan is off to see him today, possibly for the
last time. I won't be bothering! But Tom will need to buck up his ideas a good
deal if he is to make it in Germany. Not
only will he need to learn German, his general attitude to life will need to be
radically altered. I can't see it
happening and he'll be back here in Dorktown blaming everyone but himself yet
again. I hope he does make it work, but
history is against him I'm afraid.
And so for a photo ...
