We’re looking for less able people and their carers/attendants to join our BBS Interest Panel. It’s basically a forum to discuss all of the issues that affect less able life. We’re looking to open up a discussion about anything and everything that concerns the discerning less able. So if you have anything at all that you…
We all know that it’s really frustrating when you want to go somewhere cool – a stylish restaurant for instance – but you find out that they don’t have a disabled toilet. Yesterday we named and shamed some Michelin star restaurants who fall into that category. However, what can be equally or maybe even more…
People don’t believe me when I say there are Michelin Starred restaurants without disabled facilities. There are and here are my selection for the BBS Bonfire: I was going to put the Heston restaurants in Bray, The Fat Duck & The Hinds Head on the Bonfire but they seem to have followed our advice and our badgering of the…

We’re in the mood for some good old fashioned venting this month, so we’re looking for your Halloween Horror Stories about disabled access to put on our ‘BBS Bonfire’.

Does anyone have anything you’d like us to ask?? Contact Us Here. We asked them in this blog about accessibility & facilities & got few…
Disabled toilets seem to be a great source of comedy for those who have the bravery and talent to get it right. Fortunately Larry David is pretty much a genius so this running joke in Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgedBRXw7fY But what do you think about the portrayal of the guy in the wheelchair…
Check out this video from series 2 of The IT Crowd. We think it’s pretty funny but it also made us wonder – when do you cross the line with this sort of thing? In this instance we think it’s OK – the joke’s on him and anyone who’s seen this episode will know that…
Have you had enough of daft disabled facilities, ludicrous less able loos and ridiculous ramps like this? Then maybe you should join our Research Panel! We are going to get opinions on everything from access in shops to disabled toilets to transport to sport to disabled equipment…. that is anything and everything that matters to you. We…
