I'm so glad to find out it's not only me whose speaking and understanding goes odd from time to time (although, y'know, not wishing it on anyone...)<br /><br />Your keyring cards look very handy too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572102937612408267.post-39869617109599912852013-01-22T09:44:14.148+00:002013-01-22T09:44:14.148+00:00As a tall-ish man I often get requests from women ...As a tall-ish man I often get requests from women (particularly older women, who tend to be shorter anyway) to get books (as I spend a lot of my time in bookshops, though rarely buying!) down off the top shelves, so it's not that unusual to be asked to "lend my height" to someone who can't reach. Men like doing these things for ladies anyway!Matthew Smithhttp://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572102937612408267.post-90689006219971210422012-12-23T01:12:43.786+00:002012-12-23T01:12:43.786+00:00Brillant.

So have spent many years prior to its use with multidirectional instability in my shoulders along with the lack of height. Asking for assistance in supermarkets so to ask from my wheelchair came naturally.I love your spin on the asking. I am fed up though that the wheelchair trolley which fits onto self propelled wheelchairs renders itself useless with a powered one as the joystick cannot be moved! If I saw a stickman cartoon depicting that conundrum I would be overwhelmed with admiration. I love the detail of the basket on lap in this one, I give my baskets to customer services & they put them in a trolley then accompany me to checkout then car with purchases. I find interestingly that often whilst staring up at something I want high up it is normally men that ask if can help. This cartoon is sheer genius - thank you for the smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572102937612408267.post-20214298745879545572012-12-20T12:42:39.733+00:002012-12-20T12:42:39.733+00:00I'm so going to use this!

Neither of us are wheelchair users but I am 5ft nearly 1 with rather 'unhookable' shoulders and my Mum is about 5ft tall so we often have to borrow other peoples height :-).<br />Bendybod2noreply@blogger.com
