Hi Everyone.
I know we’ve discussed games on here in the past, so I thought I’d raise this
issue as it raises my hackles somewhat. I was on the RNIB online shop this
morning looking for brailed playing cards, and was shocked to discover that
these cards cost £7.26, while the standard printed cards cost less than half
this at £3.5. For an organisation that claims to promote equal access, this is
hardly an encouragement to take up a new hobbies or interest as it penalises
those of us who must use braille. A couple of sets of these cards would set me
back a Wapping £14.5, an outrageous amount of money considering that the work
required to adapt these cards IE putting a suit and numeric denominator on each
hardly merits such an inflated price. Thoughts anyone?
All the best, Ibrahim.
