The views you read are mine and mine alone. Sometimes I get heated about both football and politics!

@TommyCockles8 @Future_Harmony @RRRunnersUK @parkrun That's not what i said at all.

[Greg Scott @gregpscott]

@TommyCockles8 @Future_Harmony @RRRunnersUK @parkrun Yes, but on the understanding it is a non competitive event. If you choose to compete with others, that's on you. And given my local parkrun averages around 350 people and is a 3 lapper on a tight course, chasing fast times is unrealistic anyway.

So. Fella, on here, posts a pic of an audi with a Motability sticker on and next to it an Audi purchase finance agreement. 10k likes. Most fewmin. Motability is a lease, not a purchase. You never own the car. If you can be arsed with the facts of a family with a Motability car, read on.

I have 2 adult sons with disabilities. Both are non-verbal. The eldest of those also has cerebral palsy and uses a wheel chair. My personal story is that both guys are adopted (out of the care system) as babies and are birth brothers. I live alone with both sons. The standard rate mobility component of PIP is £29.20 a week, which needs 8 to 12 points. From the uproar over the 4 point rule, I'm sure most will realise this is not insignificant. For the enhanced rate £77.05 a week, you need 12 points plus. This is the qualification for the Motability lease. LEASE. My sons £77.05 a week is paid directly from DWP to Motability. If we didn't choose Motability, that money would still be paid to my son. So why choose Motability, that money could actually finance a car purchase couldn't it?

Adaptations: Motability will adapt the vehicle to the needs/equipment.

Reliability: lease renews every 3 years, cars never get to old or costly. It's there day in day out, garage visits unlikely. My son cannot leave the house alone. A contract with Kwik Fit for tyre problems/replacement eases worry also. Breakdown, and you go to the top of the list. Can you imagine me breaking down on the motorway with 2 adult men, non-verbal, severe learning difficulties, and one in a wheelchair?

Insurance: included, and you can add a carer on.

In addition: I drop to and from day centre. If I did not or people with suitable transport like us. Transport is provided by local authority at their cost, although you would normally be expected to contribute to this (as well as the day centre) from PIP... and UC. A financial assessment is conducted when you are in receipt of an adult care package, whether residential or non residential.

A transparent post. One situation. If you're still fewmin, that's on you. Maybe go try to get 12 plus points on a PIP assessment.

Lastly.... seeing lots of posts about the high percentage of cars being sold in the UK are to the Motability Scheme. Sounds like we're holding up the post Brexit car industry, too. You're so welcome.

@parkrunUK Yep, no. 200 for me this morning (why is this not an official milestone??)

[Greg Scott @gregpscott]

@parkrun #200 for me this morning! 183 of them @creweparkrun

[Greg Scott @gregpscott]

@Thehullboy1 If you're coming through Cheshire at all, I'll join you.

[Greg Scott @gregpscott]

@CryptoCraeg @JamWaterhouse Nope. Britain didn’t. Well, not until after VE Day anyway.

[Greg Scott @gregpscott]

@wweisawesome123 Hello Ben, me too. Short days that often barely get light, cold, wet and often gloomy weather. None of these things help, but like all things, this is temporary. This too shall pass.

@TalkNorwichCity Crnac needs a mention, but from the 4 Duffy.

[Greg Scott @gregpscott]

Crnac was excellent today. Gritty, hard fought win. Honourable mention for Duffy too. #ncfc
