Sorry you are right there Peter. Are you talking about the golf ball type when you say jumbo? I had forgotten about that but then I only have one such tip as I rely on my 4 legged friend most of the time. All my other canes are the stick in the pavement ones!

A long cane with a jumbo tip does not get stuck in pavements.----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 6:20 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Guide Dpog complaintsInteresting 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.Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 2:03 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Guide Dpog complaintsSo 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.

"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.
