Hi guys.
This conversations off topic for here and I've let it run for a few days
because it is such a hot topic.
It's being continued over on vi-genaccess.
You can subscribe to the group by sending a blank email to,
vi-genaccess-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The discussion will probably continue here over the next 24 hours but please
begin to migrate it over to the other group that's best suited for this
topic.
Thanks

Would it not be worth contacting the RNIB at a more regional level to
get better advice? I'm aware that in the northwest where I am they
certainly have people who might be able to advise you, perhaps better
than the helpline did.
