You are the problem. The rules are simple. Go out and exercise and then go home. Just that, nothing more than that.

To be fair then problem is actually bigger than that and has been brewing for years as we increasingly become a country with rules but almost everyone has an excuse for why that rule shouldn’t apply to them/their child/family.

If you can't, just take yourself elsewhere?
Actually i went out of my way to find out info for Hooves on another thread but i dont have to agree with her hijacking every thread to make it about her.
And i dont have to 'go elsewhere" either. Plenty people have taken issue with Hooves refusing to listen to them on this thread and its not even 'her' thread. Why arent you telling them where to go as well?

No you didn't. You joined in the pile on on that other thread by insinuating that I was lying about a "free from" box at Morrisons. As soon as you said that all the other posters ramped up their sneering about nothing being good enough for me and me not accepting the help available. When I showed with screenshots what I had found, that backed up my view, you said you would double check at work. Which I've just seen you did - and lo and behold it is only available in your store. So, I wasn't lying when I said that it wasn't available, despite your best efforts to try and make it out that I was.

So, thank you for finding it out for me but maybe it would have been better for you to say that it wasn't definitely available throughout your company, rather than making out that I was a liar.

Quiz willow on the availability of jobs for disabled people in a supermarket if you don't believe me.

I have to support Hooves on this. I don’t agree with her on everything, but our society is steeped in ableism. There are a thousand additional obstacles facing disabled people who are trying to pursue jobs and careers, barriers to further education and training opportunities that mean career advancement is harder, and a lack of accommodation within jobs. It’s really crappy, and many disabled organisations are deeply concerned what’s going to happen to disabled and vulnerable people during and after lockdown.

I need a sword to go with my shield

You can hide behind your sheild to each your crisps and use your sword to fight of busy-bodies.
