If owners follow the rules shouldn’t be a problem

That was a good point, but you just can’t break the law willynilly, so many people being inconvenienced and they pay taxes as well.

Our area has a cafe with a line of small tables, no plants , still leaves enough room for all that need to get past. She said she would go to jail rather than remove the plants. People before plants.

Rather sarcastic, I was quite polite about it. Most footpaths have more than one person travelling along it me plus people more than a bit squishy. Hope you never have to find out how it feels.

Going back a bit, 1945, dad the town baker took the unsold bread to out of town properties where families were doing it hard. I was 5 and loving jolting along in a horse drawn cart. No matter how little families had we were always asked in for a cuppa for the baker, home made ginger beer for...

Always, it is just a polite way to open the conversation.

Take your point but honestly how would you like to be trying to get past with a wheelchair walker etc? She doesn’t own the space and council are actually doing what they are paid to do on our behalf.

My thought as well

I am 85 with a walker and an assistance dog. Full access to a footpath is a need not a want. Regardless of race this person is a foul mouthed woman who wants it all her way. Wouldn’t be happy if someone was hurt and sued the pants off her. Surely if not lawfull council workers could just...

Yes discrimination, I have seen dogs bigger than that. I do have an assistance dog, a kelpie, and don’t see if it helps its person why no admittance.

Lovely surprise. I wouldn’t go mad spending it though, if on a pension a lot of health benefits could be lost when Centrelink spots it.

Don’t give me a problem, give me a solution

They are entitled to use their platform. Up to the people to decide whether to listen. This was a heartfelt and to the point speech.

I am lucky enough to be able to deal with most things digitally, but when everything goes up in smoke it doesn’t matter how much you know. I have saved a little cash just in case. Hate to think what will happen if we go cashless

Thanks for the laugh

Good comment unfortunately many elderly don’t have bbq,s . So that cuts out a lot of people

Obviously not full control when everything goes down they are affected as badly as we are.
