What a question Iain, of course it doesn't! RNIB are primarily
interested in those losing their sight, more of a myoung maker in
terms of legacies me thinks!
Kind regards,

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
