Oh fair enough point only I did not realize you were giving up the dog altogether and whenever that was I do not know but they are certainly in to mobility training so they should at least be able to assist you surely. ----- Original Message ----- From: martin wilsher To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 5:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: long canes they supplied you Eleanor because you were going for a new dog, they would not supply if you'd given up dog altogether. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 24 March 2010 17:06 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: long canes I think social services would supply you Andy. GDBA supplied me between 1st and 2nd guide dog. eleanor ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 4:37 PM Subject: [access-uk] long canes Hi all - Since choosing no longer to be a guide dog owner, the GDBA have supplied me with a long cane [Revolution with roller tip], but now that I need a new tip, they say I have to fund my own, or try social services. I've just looked at the RNIB website, under long canes, and can see my Revolution cane listed. Firstly, I assume I would be charged the VAT free price? and secondly, can somebody tell me about the different tips for this cane? I can't quite figure out the advantages of one over another, like I say, I have been using the roller tip, which seems to have good durability for street work, what are the pros and cons of the other tips over the roller tip?
