I was referring to Mr Bloodnock after his quality scribbling; he had writted; Ye Heathens of Little faith...let the doors of goodness poor open and let all good souls helpeth others as they see fit without fear of legality impeding their selfless generosity... And it was William the Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon. |

I wasn't aware that not strapping a wheelchair in was a penalty point offence or is it because the wheelchair passenger was effectively riding without a seatbelt ? |
