Eleanor, yes I agree, unfortunately there is not yet any case law to speak of,
so there isn't really any interpretation of what the law entitles us to expect
or demand.
Cheers

Oh no, Tony not this one again. I do not agree that is why we have had to have
legislation enacted so that people like ourselves can have that 'reasonable
adjustment' and more than that 'our basic human rights'.

Ah Carol & Alex,
Now I know that when I request from organisations and such that they don't
send out in a format all what we request!
For example when we may wish for just a statement from a bank for example
that you may be happy in print but say a long info doc that in braille would be
fine!
Let's not confuse them then!
Suppose we should be grateful for small mercies! <smile>

Hi Alexander,
Yes, this is one of the things that I really find annoying and it happens
with lots of companies and other places where literature is sent. Their
systems just don't allow for you to specify preferences, depending on the
type of item you'll need to read. I hate storing Braille over a long
period
but often want to read something in that format, then keep in text. It's
infuriating but I guess they just can't understand it, can they? I don't
think there's all that much we can do either ...
