with my over 35 years experience of working with a guide dog, I find the 
benefits far outway the obstacles. Of course, dogs are not for everyone, but 
neither is a cane. horses for courses. I have contacted guide dogs association, 
but sometimes you can speed things up by hearing of others experiences.

This is another prime example why  having a guide dog causes more problems. If 
you are going on holiday just take your cane with you as it will save you a lot 
of greaf in the long run. It seems that guide dog owners enjoy a lot more 
freedom when it comes to mobility but they don't half have to pay a price for 
it. Restaurants and taxies is another issue as well.

Hi Brian,

Have you posed this question to GDBA?  If they don't know the answer, they 
should certainly follow it up with Butlins on your behalf.

Hi
I know this is not strictly access technology but has any guide dog owner tried 
booking with a butlins resort? Their website states that although pets are not 
allowed, guided dogs and dog s for the deaf are providing your produce a 
registration document prior to making a booking. other than your guide dog ID 
card, there are no registration documents. I've tried explaining this to 
butlins, but i'm not sure they understand that they are asking for  something 
that doesn't exist. Has anyone else had this sort of problem with butlins or 
any other establishment?
Brian
