Hi @EventimApollo - I've been on hold for an hour today trying to get wheelchair accessible tickets to see @BryanCranston as Breaking Bad is my favourite TV show. If I was able bodied I could buy tickets within minutes. How do you think this makes me feel as a disabled customer?
Very disappointed by the service from @SurreyCouncil for our wedding. Many mistakes in our marriage certificate & disability training needed!
I was triggered by actions of our registrar but couldn't take a moment to educate her, as I normally do, during my own wedding ceremony!

"It gives me the same buzz as it did when I was competing."
@SChristiansen87 is an eight-time paralympic gold medallist, and reflected on her first public speech at @Uni_Lancashire since she announced her retirement.
Breaking from @cjayanetti@ObserverUK: Our #BarriersAtHome report reveals official data suggesting only 3% of new housing approved in London will be accessible, far short of the 90% in the London plan.
For many of us, these numbers are no surprise. (1/3)

Shocking shortage of suitable homes for disabled and elderly, with less than 1% designed for wheelchair users.

The low compliance rates are despite Mayor Sadiq Khan setting out that all new housing should meet one of these standards.
Highlighted in yellow: Inclusion London’s report, which will be published next week, sets out the housing difficulties faced by disabled people in the capital, and highlights the harm inaccessible housing causes to disabled people’s mental and physical health.
Barriers at Home launches on Wednesday
“Everyone knows everyone; what we’re going through. So that really helped me when I was here and competing at the highest level as well.”

ALT Email saying: Hi lastminute.com,
When I made my booking, there was no way to select an accessible room, or inform my hotel that I needed one. May I suggest that you add this functionality onto your website.
Thank you in advance for being a disability ally,
Sophie Christiansen CBE

Today @Accessorize wouldn't let me get a piercing without a doctors note to say I know how to keep it clean
Why? Because I'm a wheelchair user
I'm so tired
