🙂 It is so helpful having a Handicap Badge.

In the UK, this known as a Blue Badge…the paperwork can be daunting but it is worth persevering.

This blue badge which I have had for about 20 years, often renewed online and without any trouble, is great in the UK but what about in other countries? It is mostly excepted but not everywhere. What to do than?

And why are the handicapped places in the UK always full and in most other countries not?
