Well, today me and hubby went shopping for me some clothes (it was my birthday). so, i found loads i wanted to try on - and went to the changing rooms (in M & S) to be told that the 'big (disabled) room was in use 2 old ladies trying on six pairs of trousers apparently!. Could i go to one of the others and walk!!!. Now, i was in my chair and this lady didn't know that yes, i can walk a little but i didn't have my sticks with me - so i said no. I went to the underware dept and used their changing room instead.

what got me was that they assumed that i didn't need to be in the chair. i didn' mind going to the other changing rooms but i wsa annoyed abou the assumption,.

rant over.
