There would be a dog as an option for you then Saqib or some of these Sonic 
torches.

  That is an unusual sttep to take. May I ask why you chose to give up your 
dog? I would of thought a dog would of bought you a vast amounts of 
independence. I would like a suggestion as I don't travel well on rough paving.

  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?

  Thanks for any help -

  Andy
