Why is it when ever I read a response from Derek to someone's opinion on a topic, I have a song in my head by Groucho Marks...What ever your opinion is, I'm against it, yes I'm against it... Anyone else get the same. Dave Derek, Are you by any chance a BT shareholder? Unfortunately this isn't the forum for you to promote the worthyness of BT and how you feel it does more than its legally obliged to do. Which is a great shame, for every example that you could give, I'm sure that I could counter that, and give you clear evidence of how BT as a Group of companies is continuing to discriminate and treat people less favourably for a reason relating to their disability.
