Disabled access

[dodgydiy]

in the early nineties when i used to go away racing all the time, i remember one racer who was in a wheelchair, there were always people who would carry him up to a chair on the rostrum or him and his wheelchair onto the rostrum, everyone helped out. if you did that now health and safety would have a fit, plus people dont seem to want to do things like this any more, probably for fear of being sued. As for the disabled access act, i know a shop owner who ended up in court because he could not provide a suitable disabled access to his high street shop, the council tried to close him but failed, as national parks were the ones who stopped him adding a 'temporary' ramp as his shop was in a listed building. the funny thing is he sold things like diving and climbing gear, not the most popular things for the majority of wheelchair users
