I know it's illegal but ...I visit my housebound 90 year old mum every afternoon and it costs me a fortune .
She's in a controlled zone and its £2.70 an hour .
So I,m tempted to use the badge ,even though I'm not picking her up or dropping her off ( well sometimes I am ) .
But I guess it would look a bit obvious if the wardens saw me parked on a meter every afternoon .
