I have to share this with you all.

I went into a little bookshop today to try and find an obscure textbook i was looking for.

Anyway, as i walked in, i saw a sign that read:

"Braille books upstairs"

Oh! How i laughed!

Then i realsied i'd seen things like this before, when i went into a bank they had a sign saying:

"Leaflets available in braille"

Are these people, shop owners etc, thick or something?

How stupid is that!

Tony, are you plannin' anything good? Nothing to get Excited about?

(Not unless you're excited about a new server and prize competition)

Anything?!

Anyway, What's wrong with braille books?!

Blind people can read....pretty good at it too I imagine.

But my imagination is like a free spirit in space.....it goes anywhere.....anywhere I tells ya!

Hey YH, the braille notices are for the Dogs that the blind people use to take them around.

This amused me at the weekend.

We went to Gretna Green, Fate, me and my two small kids, for a wedding. Not ours, we are already married.

On the return trip we landed at Stanstead and some 200 of us were standing around this empty conveyor - great long thing, waiting for our baggage to appear.

10 minutes later my little son Matthew (5 years old) wandered off to the point on the conveyor where the baggage comes up the chute. He's wearing my hat which I bought in Jamaica a long time ago - like a butcher's hat in white.

Takes off the hat, and with a giggle and a grin places it on the conveyor to send around to his Mum, who picks it up.

Scampers around with a cheesy grin.

Gradually people start laughing, looking ashamed to do so.

I wonder why people are embarrassed to laugh in a crowd when they find something funny.

Well I walked into the Library, realized where I was and walked out....

...and then walking into the bank I saw this extremely tall man feeling the sign which was above him, so they obviously know what they are doing.

:P
