I have changed the subject line to reflect what we are now discussing.

Adrien, I wonder how far RNIB get when they try to deal with this sort of
problem.  I know they are campaigning to get websites more accessible, but
when big companies just go their own sweet way without bothering about
accessibility, nothing much seems to happen however much people complain.

Hi Wendy

I agree, I preferred their site as it was even then it was difficult to use 
but at least we could access it with ease to some extent but now it is 
terrible, maybe we should get the RNIB to look at it and see if they can do 
something about it.

Regards

Adrien
