    Not everyone gets carers go free it’s a really awkward one to “claim” with no easy way to prove it some places like certain theme parks want your inside leg measurement to even think about it, others just take your word for it like the whole “registered disabled” rubbish.

    Not all places even offer carers go free either. It was more an example, we don’t need a discount on tyres either but that was an example of the offers.

    Could be cashback on buying x, 6 months free when you sign up for a supermarket delivery plan, use your imagination, none of this has to cost motability anything as its essentially free advertising.

    Anyway it was an example of what they could be doing that’s actually useful instead of giving the daily mail readers more flipping ammo again.

    As for greedy, not really, all offers like this exist already in some cases. Santander has stuff like this in their banking app plus I appreciate we’re getting pip but “we” also have a much harder life, much higher expenses etc. Also using theme parks as a example yeah you get a carer in free but you’re not necessarily getting the same “value” as others so the park is not really losing out.

    Anyway it wasn’t a list of what they should do just an example of creative out of the box thinking that could benefit & make a difference to lives, just because one is ok others might be really struggling counting every penny & a little discount etc might mean the difference between a family day out or not you know?

    When I was rushed into hospital for 2 weeks a few years ago, discharged & then immediately readmitted because they had no clue what was wrong a local lady turned up in the doorstep with a dozen bags of shopping, made me & wife burst into tears sometimes we all need a little help.

    No offence not trying to have a go about this I’ve only just woken up got a migraine & taken a Sumatriptan so bit woozy plus has vaccine yesterday so if I come across as an ar*e then I apologise.
