    Hi I have a badge and I am 46. You got your badge because you have some sort of disability,You not him. Congratulate him on being so fit for his age then tell him to mind his own business about what you do ok.

    This is a sore point for me.... we have an invisible illness(unless you have any deformaties) just tell him too do one!!!!! :x

    I'm 33 and have a blue badge. I get comments etc almost every time I use it. I simply say, 'I'll give you my badge if you take my health conditions as well', or 'Are you medically qualified?' It usually shuts them up.

    My new partner doesn't like me having one (except to get out of paying the toll on the Severn Bridge) and he never parks close. I think he's a bit more understanding this week after waking up to find me in tears because I couldn't get out of bed. We haven't been together long and it's taking a while for him to see the difficulties. Thankfully he doesn't judge.
