Not to worry, Andy.
If you are quick, and have seen Alison Long's message, you might just
be able to get one for free.

Hi George -
Thanks, I'll write to her strait away; pretty poor show then, that
customer service didn't know of this, nor did their specialist
department when I was put through! -

Hi all -
I'm trying to track down a world globe that can be used by the
totally blind. I've tried the RNIB [yes, I should have known better!]
they've nothing, and seemed perplexed even by the enquiry! I've
Googled for it, and found [using the translation tool] a Braille globe
on a Dutch website, that sounds quite good, in that it has continents
that can be detached for closer scrutiny, and put back in place, it
also has quite a lot of other useful sounding features; however, it is
225 Euros! I didn't have that much in mind when wanting such a thing.
I do understand the difficulty with keeping a globe up-to-date
etc, but anyway, anybody got any suggestions where to try?
Thanks -
Andy
