I had someone getting her dog to 'say hello to the lovely clever guide dog.'
"You know it's a guide dog."
"Well yes, obviously."
"What's it doing?"
"I guess it's guiding you somewhere. Why all the questions?"
"If it's guiding me somewhere, what happens when it turns around
because your dog wants to say hello to it?"
"Oh sorry."
*grrrrrrrrrrr*

are suppose to get. They shouldn't be educated. Because it is beyond them
to learn. If they are normal adults. Supposing to have brains. I ask:
When is the "education" suppose to stop?

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 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
