Purple Tuesday

Hi all.

How many of us are aware that today is Purple Tuesday? Have you heard of it? It is supposed to be a day when disabled people can shop without barriers.

I wanted to go to a specific shop in my own small town. I even messaged them beforehand to ask about the access. The picture looked good.

It was a craft shop and I wanted to support the little business person.

Could I get in ? Could I chuff! The owner said Well lift you in `. Oh yeh…with me in my sturdy prescription electric wheelchair? I think not! I could fall out and there could be a need for an ambulance to see to people with very painful backs!

Oh the naivity of the well meaning public!`

What do you say?

They dont have a clue do they? A lot say they are disabled friendly when they quite clearly are not its so annoying.

And another thing (oh heck…she`s on one now)…I got into the Post Office today ok and wanted to look round, as they have some nice gifty things…the aisles became narrower and I had to manoeuvre carefully…but oops! I knocked into a shelf and it broke. Oh dear! I left!
