Got to agree, Pele.  Sometimes it seems like a access box ticking process
rather than actual considered concession.  Braille on many things is only
effective if the VI person knows where the Braille is and can actually read
Braille.  How many doors do we have to feel, for example, before we find the
one with the Braille for Mens/womens Toilet?

Cheers

Hi Barry

While I know you are correct in saying it would not be possible to put the
number on the card, I can't help thinking this only goes some way to serving
the blind and partially sighted community.

It is like our blue badges. They both have braille on them, but all it says
is "Front". This is daft as the person who is parking their car and actually
using the badge should have enough vision to know which way round it should
go. If not, they should not be driving.
