This is appalling, David, and I think you are right. It must surely be
discrimatory!

Hi all
I came across something which rather annoyed me the other day. Every three
months or so I get a newsletter from the Hertfordshire Society for the
blind. It has little of interest to me personally and is generally
concerned with what its own staff are doing, i.e. retiring or getting
married. The rest of the newsletter is all about fundraising and how we can
help.
Until a year or so ago I received this in braille, but I was informed that
if I wished to have anything other than a normal print version I would have
to pay £5 a year. Surely this must be contrary to the Disability
Discrimination Act? I was horrified, and probably should have followed it
up, but did not do so.
I know we are straying from books a little, but it is not entirely
unconnected with reading, so it is relevant to our list.
David
