Hi Martin!
you see for me, because of the context it is, the fact that it is shops the
word Handicapped used here with their shops doesn't offend me.
but generally, I do agree that rights based charity ideas are the only way to
go.
sorry if that was confusing! hope you know what I meant!
Sabrina

Hi
I think that we have to move away from the charity model, and then
these kinds of words will become less relevant.
