Hi Eleanor,
That may be so, but this list, I believe, is for Access Technology, which
of
course, would not include guide dogs, unless they were electronic ones
<Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Guide Dog Matters
I agree with regard to people having the same interest that a Guide Dog
list
can provide help and support. However, I wonder if in this particular
case,
the gentleman was wanting to target a wider audience of visually impaired
people and especially those without guide dogs too and even sighted
members.
I know we have now dealt with the topic on this occasion as it would
appear
the gentleman in question is going to receive the support he requires and
that is good and I am sure we would all want to wish him well.
Eleanor

If in a rural area or in a place where the council do little to maintain
the
pavements, the jumbo tip would be better use than a normal roller I
believe.

Hi Peter,
Neither does a roller tip if you use it right.
All the best

A long cane with a jumbo tip does not get stuck in pavements.

Interesting one Jackie. Now I am of the opposite view point. I hate a
white stick, it gets stuck in the pavement and above all I feel 'blind'
with it. My Guide Dog is my eyes and that is for true.

So you wear a heavy coat for the winter, and a lighter one in the
summer. You have an evening bag to go out somewhere special (least I
do), and an ordinary bag for day-to-day purposes. Now you need a
guide
dog for the city, and perhaps another dog with a different
temperament
for more sedate strolls? You're having a laugh!! (chuckle).
Frankly, it's why I would never ever have another guide dog if I were
paid millions, because there are too many rules and regulations, and
the
dog always seems to be right in the eyes of the Association, not the
owner. I've heard time and again from people that the standard of dog
training has dropped. Each to their own, of course, but give me the
white cane any day of the week.

Hi Andy
You A did say and I quote:
"each of us are a credit to the organization,"
So no problems then!
"So people like me, who have a little peripheral vision, are walking
about with dogs, which can in a flick of a second, get us killed."
But those people witn no sight at all, must surely be at more risk!
i feel the mista\ke you have made is to make threats.
I mean you said you:
"Made a lot of noise and threats about seeing a lawyer"
In another post you said you were told:
"it was not quite a good idea to take my dog into Glasgow during the
festive season stating that the streets were very busy at this time of
the year."
Well given GDBA said that, I feel that's proof they are taking your
safety seriously.
If they feel you are not able to manage very busy conditions, they
will not recommend you do it.
Regards, Derek
