[jaws-uk] Re: WEB ACCESSIBILITY

Having recently taken early retirement I couldn't give a monkey, but having 
worked in a regional government office for the past 16 years I have had to 
battle with the local web designers to have their web sites made 
accessible. I gave up in the end, took as I said early retirement, and 
they're probably still doing just what they like to make sites look oh so 
nice for the sighted person.

Am  I bitter, oh no, of course not.
