REGARDING the comments about use of the orange badge and the dreadful attacks about disabled people being qualified for these, I agree entirely with Sandra Murphy and Peter Watson (Letters, November 15).

As for Nicholas Holt, his remarks about pregnant women needing them are ridiculous, as theirs is only a temporary condition and usually they have a feeling of wellbeing, not pain.

Obviously, Mr Holt does not have any mobility problems, otherwise his views would change.
