Thankyou Knight!!! I was worried that no one felt as i did upon watching this and i couldnt understand why there wasnt one single reply or comment. It says so so much about society...and accessibility..How we are perceived socially..at work and in general.

It wasnt as some comments on another thread suggested, about how we are treated by the public. No..instead it was about what a different accessible world this would be if more cross section of the population were wheelchair users and the AB world were the minority.

The video shows them having to deal with 'our' ramps in the rain...downward sloping ones! lol and having to deal with inconveniently positioned public telephones (but perfect for chair users)...It said so much more but indeed, for a video that only lasts 40 seconds..it speaks volumes..

It just shows how difficult thing would be for people with out disabilities.
