>> Hi Folks
>>
>> Naama is still away on vacation - lucky thing - this week, so please join
> Julia Johnson and myself, Chrissie Cochrane, at 19:00 UTC tomorrow 
> (Sunday)
> for The Attitude Test.
>>
>> This week, we will be looking into the whole subject of discrimination
> against disabled people, with special reference to all forms of public
> transport.  This item was brought home to me harshly by something that
> happened to Naama, Geoff and Johanna on a journey they made from Germany 
> to
> Finland by air.  If you want to hear the full horrific story of what
> happened to these three blind people, tune in to the beginning of The
> Attitude Test at 19:00 UTC on Sunday.
>>
>> Do you have any personal experiences of really bad discrimination, or
> perhaps rules being taken to rediculous extreme, simply because you are
> disabled?  What can we do to change attitudes to the disabled in many 
> walks
> of life?  Perhaps though you are happy the way things are.  No matter what
> you think on the subject, we'd love to hear from you.
>>
>> Remember though, the Attitude Test is your program, so if you have
> something else that you wish to get off your chest, that perhaps has 
> annoyed
> or upset you throughout the week, then, this is the program to air your
> views.
