Hi,

I'll keep this short as it is not the proper list to express these thoughts.

It infuriates me as many organisations like us to remain dependant, as it
keeps them in work... Also another pet gripe is organisations having VI
people out collecting in public areas, which is a bit like emotional
blackmail, yet pay fund raisers £30K+ per year as an employed staff member.

Rant over.

Mike

well personally I do not think you should be telling them in accurate
information I am of the opinion if you are going to have conversation about
your dog with the public you should be educating them.

Hi John

I just despair of these people and you are right you tell guide dogs
things and no notice is taken whatsoever because totally blind
people are in a minority they are just left on the shelf to disappear.

hi janet well i am certainly not going to pay for the rubbish over
drive set up sad really but to me like the guide dogs the people at
the top never discuss anything with us at the bottom so to speak.
also on the train today someone was adamant i could see are you
parttly sighted she kept asking it just felt as though i had landed from
outer space.

Hi Ian

I don't know if you read this newspaper but last week in the daily
mirror there was an article about an American woman who wanted to
go blind which infuriated me about as much as what you have written
has. There was also an advert about fifteen years ago done by
action for blind people that made us look totally helpless which
annoyed me as well. I don't buy the rnib's products as I think
they are poor quality most of the time. and when my year's
subscription is up I don't think I will renew it either.

Janet ps there are still letters at the bottom of your messages.

I am seriously considering boycotting what few RNIB products and
services I use — chiefly the electronic newspaper service — in
response to their latest ad campaign. There has been an item on
this at the end of today's edition of WATO. Celebs including
Barbara Windsor and Shirley Bassey are presented talking about the
idea of being told they're going blind. Bassey describes that
possibility as being "Devastating" and says she might as well be
told that she's going to die. Once again they have turned my
impairment into a thing of terror and me into an object of pity and
I've had enough of
