Like what? You recommended forgetting about it. Isn't that giving up?

Hi. I didn't recommend giving up! Just to find a better alternative which
can only be better for Eleanor. Personally this is what I would of done
myself.

I think Twitter is a good social medium for blind people as it is
accessable.

Hi
I think your advice of (give up) is totally wrong. If this advice was
followed for all time we (that is disabled people) would be living in
institutions instead of independently) Did you not watch the paralympics?
I bet they never gave up.
thanks

Hi. Posting to twitter may not be enough because a single tweet can be
missed by millions on the public timeline. If I were you just put it down to
bad experience and go somewhere where it’s more friendly and accepting of
guide dogs. Usually incidents like these get back to Guidedogs but to be
honest with you it’s a waste of time as fighting with the owners of a shop
or restaurant makes you out to be blind bitching and that isn’t your
intention. I bet you wouldn’t have had any issues with the restaurant if you
walked in with your cane. Something like this is a major turn off for me
because I once considdered getting a guidedog but even that brings it’s own
set of challenges and barriers. My frend who lives local to me can’t even
take his dog into the local shops as they all won’t let him in with one. For
something that is suppose to give one more independence! It’s just throwing
more barriers in the way because you have limited access to restaurants,
taxie
s and other services. .

You just post a general tweet and include the Twitter name of the
restaurant.

Hi All
I went out for a meal tonight. New resteraunt. Had table booked but when
I got to the resteraunt with my friend, the propritor came to confidentally
say that 'no dogs are allowed'! I explained that it as a 'guide dog'!
Still, no dogs allowed! I explained that it would be against the law to turn
me away! Sorry, no dogs! I love dogs, I have them myself etc, she said but
no dogs here!
I have the name of the resteraunt and looked it up on-line. See it is on
Twitter. Is there any way I can put on Twitter about this? or can I only
Tweet to my own group of friends/followers?
Unbelievable, this is London 2012! Interesting to read on their Twitter
that they congratulate the Greek Paralympic team but still do not likie a
guide dog in their resteraunt.
Now, I do not wish to start a dialogue about guide dog accessability, this
is more to explain and ask about Twitter and if I can give the resteraunt
poor press for the attitude to my guide dog. Maybe not to clutter up the
list people can respond off list to me at eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
