Prince Charles's blindie message
Seems that Prince Charles has recorded a . No, he's not replacing his mother broadcasting to the nation on 25 December - instead, his festive speech is going to a select group of 150 blind people in Ammanford, west Wales, who subsscribe to the local talking newspaper.
This is a story that fills my usually cynical disablified heart with Yuletide warmth. I am planning to write to the Duke of Edinburgh and see if he could possibly do something similar for the nation's population of crippled monkeys. Gotta be worth a try, hasn't it?

They wrote to him about the talking news paper and he arrived at the door. So lets not always knock people for taking an interest he has a house not to far away now.
We once wrote to Tony Blair when our funding was cut for disability sport, and I had a letter back from the DWP saying work is best, best to work here is a leaflet about returning to work.
I wrote to the Prince of Wales about the funding issues and he asked had I tried his charity.
What a difference.
