Disabled parking becoming a problem?

There's no disabled parking spaces available so you've had to park your car in a normal space. You get back to find that someone has parked their car so close to yours that only a tiny space is left for you to squeeze through.

The ACCESS-AID is a small device that clips onto your window when you find that you cannot get into a designated disabled parking bay - whether it’s at a supermarket, cinema, pub or restaurant or public car park.

Once clipped on to the window - depending what side of the car you are on (driver or passenger) - it will then warn other drivers who park next to you that you are a disabled driver or passenger and will need a little extra bit of space to enter your vehicle.

Displaying the international wheelchair logo prominently can gain you just that extra few inches space and make a huge difference. It sticks out no further than the average wing mirror but can very easily be seen by drivers who park next to your vehicle.

These slippers were originally designed for lady with CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth Disease) which is known to cause neuropathy resulting in cold feet.

Sylvie, 31, from Sheffield, who has MS has invested in a pair of Cosy Sole and reports back:

"They are great. They keep my feet deliciously warm. I have got so used to having cold feet, it's a real novelty for me to have them as warm as toast once again. They cost £35, + £11 P&P.

I must add, however, that when importing these Slippers to the UK, you may get charged vat and import taxes of up to £20, or you may be lucky and get away with it. It's the luck of the draw really.

Also, it appears that they must not be washed which seem rather impractical in the longer term? But, other that that, I highly recommend them!"
