The newest pub game in Wigan is injecting Ecstasy into the mouth - It's called E by Gum

Wigan ain't in Yorkshire

I personally thought the first post in this thread is very insensitive to disabled motorhomers.we have met many over the last 20yrs and great peeps they have all been,some quite inspirational.so I think they deserve our patience and respect.come on guys cut um some slack,we could end up on a scooter one day
brian and jo

Just a thought but how many scooter users are registered disabled and how many are just plain lazy? Too many times have I seen a scooter stop and a sprightly person get off and walk around as any able bodied person.

Ferrets...there's a thought.....

How about indulging in the good old Lancashire sport of Ferret Throwing at meets?
In its day, this sport was almost as popular as Leper Throttling.

I understand both are still pub games in St Helens and Wigan?

How about mud wrestling at Newark or Peterborough? Oh, probably already done that one

OI. You leave St Helens alone ... we are too busy being good at rugby to indulge in any other forms of physical activity.

And that matters??? How many motorcyclists have a car, or bike riders have a motorhome. Whose to say that 'lazy' matters?? One man's ten mile walk is another's twenty mile scoot.......Are we getting to the time and place where disabled peeps have to put a sign on all their transport to advertise their disability, just to keep others happy?? It already happens with cars and parking.
What's forgotten here is 'freedom of choice, within the laws of the society we live in'. You choose to walk, others to scoot. Would you want legislation about that as well??

that's simple then

If I had one of them scooters to ride around in, I would be very worried about the grey waste being needlessly emptied from motorhomes when they leave. All that grease faeces and pubic hair could have some one right off their scooter causing an horrific accident.

[Mousy]

I've spent a year in a wheelchair and it was one of the most miserable times of my life, you think that people will be kind to you because obviously your not mobile...No, it was the opposite, I was shocked at how rude, unkind and horrid complete strangers were when I was out in that chair, I was pushed out of the way in shops, ignored by shop assistants and had people try and walk in front of me pushing into queues etc.

I can't believe people would choose to get into a scooter just to go shopping but if they do good luck to them cos it's more difficult than it looks.

And yes there will always be slow coaches or annoying dog owners but come on Funsters let's spread the love, don't we live in an age with enough violence and hatred? Let's smile and be positive, life is too short.

Think I'm going to get a stair lift fitted because I can't be bothered to climb the stairs anymore.

Well said, Dawn

Rats! Smileys don't work, but please have a few thumbs up ones.......

 

[Billy23]

If I had a scooter (hope I never do) I would want to fit it with a V8 engine and air horn.

Ref Zoo, good idea but no snakes please

 

[MykCamper 1]

Since retiring, time has had no meaning, have to think what day it is, ( even got to Lincoln a day late, ) so dawdling behind a scooter or wheel chair or even stuck in traffic just relaxes me, Life's too short to hurry!! I'm just thankful that I can get around under my own steam! ;-) and have a beer or two!!

No reason why not - your money; your stairs. But I promise you, unless you were incredibly lazy, you'd soon get fed up.

The rotten so & so's limit the speed & they are soooo slooooow. Takes all the fun out of it. Drives the wife nuts - and me if I'm waiting for her to get up or down. Even the grandkids get fed up after a couple of trips up & down.

But after a day going round a show I don't half envy her her wheelchair. I'm a long way from being registered disabled, but my left ankle is pretty much shot & I can't stand on it for very long or walk very far. Some sort of personal mobility aid for longer distances would be great.

I fancy a Segway myself.

Put the PIES AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS MIKE its an incentive

Funny you should say that, as I know a guy who just had a stair lift fitted, and he's only 64. He lost both his legs in South Armagh, and has struggled for over thirty years to get upstairs, but as you say, he's had a stairlift fitted because he cant be bothered pulling himself up step by step any more.
Glad you reminded me. I must tell him how you think he's a lazy git.

You're finally getting the point.....he's disabled! Scooter,mobility devices are for disabled people. I find able bodied people using devices for disabled people insulting to those unable to get about...suppose your car is a little blue invalid carriage.

 

[Snowbird]

As an occasional mobility scooter user, compulsory when on a pub crawl in Benidorm, I find the problem lies with pedestrians on the pavement. Pedestrians walk around as though they have all day to get from one pub to another, whereas serious pub crawlers require a mobility scooter to cover more ground. Anyway, I think there should be a minimum speed limit for pedestrians on the footpath of say , 15 miles per hour. If a pedestrian cant keep up this speed then they should lose the right to be a pedestrian and forced to buy a mobility scooter.

 

[haganap]

Don't get a stair lift they are really dangerous. I know of two deaths on them...one where a man starved to death following it breaking down and he couldn't get off it...
Far better to chance your arm being gassed in france
