I do agree there is something to my mind rather distasteful about this offering
of prizes for this kind of information.
On a more frivolous perhaps note, I was rather shocked when I read the message
with VoiceOver as it appeared to be offering a 50 million pound prize.
Sometimes text to speech programs appear to be too clever by half!
And just to bring up a good old chestnut, does this include those of us who are
congenitally blind?

Hi
As anyone seen the latest tweet from RNIB? It says:
“tell us about the support you receive from a sight loss adviser or medical
professional and win £50 M and S vouchers”. How are the RNIB going to judge
a winning story? In the past I have taken part in an RNIB survey about
sight loss via telephone consultation, which was purely voluntary self
disclosure, but now commercialisation appears to be creeping in.
Is it only me that finds this offensive and in poor taste? Sight Loss
experience is a sensitive and emotional personal bereavement and in my
opinion not a subject for winning prizes.
Best wishes
Henry
