Person who left note on my car at Wirral hospital is a disgrace

I WOULD be grateful if you would print my letter to reply to a wonderful person placing the letter (see below) on my window screen, and bent my wiper blade in Arrowe Park Hospital between 9 and 10 am on July 18.

For your information, I to have visited Security and presented them with your letter which they have photocopied, and they will be reviewing security cameras to see who you are, not only to write such a horrid note but also you must have also spied inside and noted on what contents I had in my car.

For your information, I do not work at Arrowe Park Hospital, as you suggested, but took my elderly mother to the Eye Clinic, and due to her medical problems dropped her at the door, and drove into car park and parked in a disabled car space and used my legal badge.

I admit I did not use my crutch, if you looked closely enough you will see the handle broken, which happened when the wind caught my car door, yesterday, hence I was unable to use it.

Did you have your glasses on when you watched me walk the short distance to the eye hospital clinic?

If you did you would have seen me limping as I have nerve and muscle damage to my right leg. I have had six horrendous operations to my right leg, and I am now on the waiting list for yet another operation.

In future get your facts right before penning such horrible notes, you must have a very sad life if you get pleasure in writing such letters while sitting in your car, and a wimp for not leaving your contact details.

If you think your final sentence justifies your unwelcome and rabid attack on myself, my mother and the blue badge scheme, think again, no name fanatics like yourself are nothing short of a disgrace hiding behind anonymity.

Pam Carroll, Address supplied

The anonymous letter left on Pam’s windscreen reads:

“Pam, I guess that’s your name?

I notice you use a Blue Badge in your car and choose to park in a disabled bay here at Arrowe Park.

Are you using this legally?

You blatantly park and then walk unaided with no obvious problem to your place of work, suggesting you are using a Blue Badge for your own use and not for the named holder.

You even leave a crutch on the back seat!

Disabled places are at a premium here and I can rarely fund one for my own use due to people like you.

You have been collared. I and security have been alerted.

Park in a correctly marked staff car park bay in future. You have been warned.

A picture of your car will appear in next week’s Wirral Globe / News, Liverpool Echo.

If you are parked illegally and have a disability, please accept my apologies.”

What a moron. His spelling and English are appalling. I think he needs to get a life. (and some basic English lessons). I do hope you catch him as indicated in your letter. If you do, please let us know, it will make my day.

You comment on somebody jumping to conclusions without any facts and surprise surprise, you do the exact same thing.

You label the person in question as a him, when there is no indication as to the prats gender. Maybe you should get your facts straight before making such claims?

What does it matter.If I would have put "its" spelling would you have understood then? Or would you have liked me to enclose a picture, in crayon for your benefit? Is it that it was you, so realise the gender was wrong. I reiterate, what difference what the sex of the creature was. Unless of course you are a misogynist, which would explain a lot, as you seemed to completely missed the point of the sheer "gitisness" of the incident, and are more concerned with the gender. Male or female it was a moronic thing to do. Happy now?

Whomever 'anonymous' is, I am appalled at this particular event. The lady in question does have a legal right to have and use a badge and did so well within the criteria for having one.

To then have some numpty come along and leave an essay on her screen because they wanted to use the space and couldn't beggars belief, and to also have a mooch through the car like that shocks me.

What was with this line though? - 'Disabled places are at a premium here and I can rarely fund one for my own use due to people like you'

A badge costs £10 for three years from January 2012 and the car parking at Arrowe Park is free in the big car park, so this doesn't make any sense.

They then have the cheek to say 'If you are parked illegally and have a disability, please accept my apologies.'

As someone who obviously have a need for a blue badge themselves, I can only assume they are so disabled that they feel so strongly to forget about the sometimes lack of noticeable evidence to disability. As I often tell the guys in work when they make (sometimes) disparaging comments about people who don't appear disabled parking using blue badges - they don't have it tattooed on their foreheads/

Like many other people, I do get angry about the ones who use and abuse the system, but that is not for me to take action against, it is down to the people who deal with these matters and no-one else.

What a pathetically sad individual. Hope they feel ashamed of themselves. Many disabilities arent immediately apparent. Plus staff are unable to park in the free car park, registration plates are recorded and after three hours the cash office would need to verify a genuine appointment.

Whilst upsetting for the recipient, I think there's a touch of hyperbole in the description of the note as "horrible", "rabid" and "horrid".

Sounds to me as if it was written by someone who gets a kick out of making anonymous and empty threats and who can therefore safely be ignored.

Whilst writing a letter and placing it on your car was probably not the right thing to do.....It is extremely suspicious when people get out of cars parked in disabled spaces (with badges on their car) and do not appear even slightly disabled.

I've literally seen ''disabled'' people of Wirral driving, parking their car, get out of the driver-side and literally run into the supermarket.

There is without a shadow of a doubt a vast, vast number of people on Wirral faking their ''disability''. Don't forget, Wirral has one of the highest number of unemployed people in the country (or did in recent years).

So whilst it probably wasn't right, I understand their frustrations - Unfortunately they took it out on somebody who was disabled rather than one of the many who are faking/exaggerating their disability.

Many conditions mean you can walk well but not far, cystic fibrosis for one.

Blaming the masses for the tiny percentage of fraud is akin to assuming that everyone who visits a shop is a shoplifter.
