Hi barry, don't know if this is the kind of thing you are looking at but for me the main thomas cook web site was always easy to use and accessibility was never a issue. Having tried to book our summer hols on the site I found it next to impossible to use, using jaws 13 and even trying NVDA with both Mazilla and IE9 the combo boxes would self-activate when navigating down a list, no first letter nav was available either and the page would bounce around from one heading to another, I have complained both on line and at my local shop. Just think it a great pity that something that was so easy to use is now virtually unusable, doubtless it was done in the name of progress! the link is:

Hi all I'm going to take part in a presentation for some corporate bods to highlight access problems on websites, and would appreciate it if people could send me examples of poorly designed sites. It's not just inaccessibility that I want to highlight, but poor usability too. So, if you have an example of a site that conforms to wc3 but is still a pain to navigate, that would be a great example.
