 I spent most of my childhood around people with disabilities. My brother has CP. How, in 2023 are we still struggling to get access for people into buildings? I just popped to a shop and a wheelchair user was struggling to get into the door because of the door frame giving a significant step. I asked if they needed help. That was confirmed so I helped them into the shop. This shouldn't be a thing now in modern buildings.

 Call me woke if you like, I don't take it as an insult. Basic facilities should be open to everyone. Don't make me take an angle grinder to that door.

 @d4b81373 used to see that all the time with K, the number of places that will tell you they're "fully accessible" "but with a small step" is crazy, there's even worse out there, we had a restaurant in Leeds offer to carry her and the chair up the 4 step stairs to their "accessible" dining room when we pointed out they were anything but.
