Having had to go to the John Radcliffe Hospital last week for a series of tests in the Eye Hospital, I was absolutely overjoyed to find all my tests results were good and even better than I could ever have imagined.

What a shock I received, however, when my husband inquired about the disabled parking and how to get out.

We were told we would have to pay like everyone else.

I was under the impression that being disabled meant that I was entitled to free parking. Obviously I was wrong.

What didn’t help was the fact that we had been there all morning.

Luckily enough we had the cash on us.

So many people do charity events for the hospital, for one department or the other. So wouldn’t it be nice for the JR to show some charity in return?

Not everyone who lives in Oxford has a huge mansion, or runs an expensive car. The JR should remember that.
