@NormanBrennan
I’d start with withdrawal of any armed protection of MPs Khan. Really can’t blame firearm officers handing in the tickets. Something has to be done. We want these officers to put their lives on the line. We must back them up. I do 100%
@Tanni_GT
I came into London Bridge today. A ticket I needed was put on a smart card that I didn’t have. Staff showed me to a Sml office that dealt with excess fares etc. he sorted it and printed me the ticket. If the ticket offices close who helps then

I joined the RN in 85. I went to the RN/RM Recruiting Office in Hull. I was always going to join the RN after my Dad. But for years b4 I went in to apply I’d look in the window and look at the model ships etc and made me want to join even more
Just watched the

In 2018 we flew from Gatwick to Orlando. When I came to disembark my wheelchair was nowhere to be seen. Not in main holds of the plane. Eventually after more than 90 minutes it was found. In a hold that had been marked as out of service!

That’s one thing that gets my blood pressure up. Most staff who help me on don’t check the space is clear. There are exceptions

@northernassist
In Bedford the local line to Bletchley was suspended for over a year. So the TOC put on coach replacements. But. They also put on along side each coach a fully accessible mini bus with power ramp A/C. Full credit to them

@ZeekArkham
Same I was brought up in the most by the loving caring enriching Mum and Dad. But we had rules and boundaries we did not cross. Tattoos was definitely one of them. Both my sister and I joined the Military at a time no tats were allowed due to Aids

@bea_rmc
I hope your ok Bea. I was bullied at school as I was joining the RN. Unfortunately for the one that tried to attack me but I knew how to defend myself as I was then a Judo green belt. Never bothered me again. Your an inspiration to 99.9% of people. Bullies are pathetic
Why not take a moment to see what volunteering is about. It’s a great way to support stroke survivors in so many different and varied roles and you can do whatever you are able to do. It’s also great way to learn new skills and get great enjoyment.
@saj_anderson
I don’t have a guide dog but I’m in a powered wheelchair. At my local train station I’ve been refused travel and they have been clear as to why. Takes too long to put seats down or just doesn’t fit in even though all are wheelchair compliant. Reported every time

It’s in my medical records yet dentist and pharmacy both failed to check. Took me a long time to trust going to a dentist again. Hope you start to feel better soon
