MY neighbour, who uses an electric scooter to get around on, has been told that, despite being a loyal customer for many years, electric scooters are no longer going to be allowed due to health and safety on board National holiday coaches, owned by the Shearings group. This appears to me as discrimination of a very nasty type.

At a stoke it has confined a proportion of the population to staying at home with no prospect of a break. How long will it be before zimmer frames are also banned?

On many of the coach trips my wife and I have been on, if it hadn’t been for the elderly brigade the places would have been empty.
