I am a little unhappy with this. I spent 32 years in the military protecting the back sides of the citizens. It was my choice. When I left the business, I was pronounced 30% disabled because of my lungs which had been exposed to things most people hadn’t ever heard of. I turn 65 this year and have been medically retired since 2013 from everybody.
But illness doesn’t stop there. Now I breath at levels most people can’t survive on. I was forced to take steroids and three experimental drugs limited to test people, to stay alive. It is affecting my heart now and I have had two heart attacks and three surgical procedures.
While i was in the military, I was shot twice and blown up once. And there are a whole lot of people just like me that need a little help to stay independent, and in many cases, alive.
As far as I am concerned, I think some people have earned their way to not being determined to be a bad investment so they are thrown back to pain and limiting of their lives based upon the bottom line.
So for those in England, that feel there is no “excuse” for being over weight, no matter how, I hope you go through in later life, the pain and fear of facing death every day. I do. And you complain about me using a cart or a handicapped parking slot at the grocery store? First you should thank some people for slowly killing themselves so you have a Walmart. Visit a VA hospital and get a real look at reality. Might learn something.

Thank you...your post was quite compelling...
If you have a legitimate mobility problem, then by all means, use the electric carts. If there are any available.
