WHY do blue badge photos make you look like prisner

25 Replies

Could it be reflection of our diseased state :)

Anyway thought i would send em one sporting my vest this year.

Think next year might send-'em one with me stood on my head.

To be honest given how unwell have been and previous refusals would they even notice.

Haha! Not much different to my passport photo ... I always end up looking like Mirah Hindley!!

:) I try to hide and takes year as keep looking away :o

Shop refused to do mine anymore.

My last one looked like i had stroke AND blue badge people refused my request but i won it on appeal.

Even appeals they have now tightened up.

I cant understand criteria they say its to help with mobility BUT if mobiles they say you don't need one.

Spain don't like complying with EU rules so stick to your guns and report to EU Commision if the come it.

Oh JAS! The vest is very fetching and the Council will be hypnotised into giving you a Blue Badge.

Pete has to renew his soon so let's hope that goes ok. Xxx

in reply to sassy59

Hi Sassy you might have to get pete vest so he can hypnotize council too. :)

Am sure pete will be fine.

Your right Jeff, some of these ID photos don't look good, my blue badge one isn't too bad but my passport one makes me look like a ninety year old with out glasses. I am sure no one looks at them anyway just laminate to the document. Like the vest idea the modern casual look. :) :)

in reply to katieoxo60

Hi Katie I think your right about em not looking at them.

Lol modern casual look :) love it

in reply to mmzetor

Hi Did same with me but think council don't know difference in renewing and making new application.

Am sure the do this just to bug us as renewing is not like making new application.

Same with a driver's license, it's to show that this is the worst that you are going to look when you get stopped by the police. They won't even let you smile for the pic.

Also, mirrors in dressing rooms with poor lighting. I guess they figure that when you try something on, this is the worst that you will ever look in it.

lol, Beth
