I laugh off such a comical, small mistake. However, I do realise that I used to feel a need to react.
On exiting a local restaurant via the ramp access, not the steps, a surprised, oncoming woman greeted me...
'Oh, you're coming this way! Eeek I didn't realise I am on the ramp!’
I felt the need to discuss this in my blog, because such a comment surprised me. Five or Ten years ago, this would have been such a regular comment, everywhere! My own level of surprise helped me realise how far forward things have come. Obviously, sensed largely at the centre of the issue, it seems that the general public perceptions of 'wheelchair issues' has improved greatly in the last decade.
Hmmmm. More than half of the population...
I really do not know how to feel about these superstars who have been living a lie. A lie, I have always known the truth and so remain fairly unaffected. The truth may hurt, but the truth will out.
How do i feel about ’Lance’?
You cannot hide the truth forever. The good will out.

Giuliano's ramp
My comment starting this week's post, can also mixed with this note.
'It's not what you know, but WHO you know'!
I want to praise Giuliano Mallardo for not only supplying gorgeous food and supplying top-notch coffee, but also he tackled the accessibility problem i faced, of a stepped-entrance, with rapid, basic ingenuity - a folded cardboard box! I have designed a three-piece window-menu, now placed in his cafe front door.
The newest cafe in my hometown of Surbiton, gets a warm mention, full of applause. Thank you 'Amici'
