Do you know that in the US these drive-up ATM's have braille signals on all the keys??

That is even dumber than the female procedure ::)
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

So the driver pulls up to the DRIVE-THROUGH ATM and stops the car. The blind passenger gets out of the car and feels their way round to the driver's side where the machine is then withdraws their money using the braille information on the keys. Then they go back round and get into the car and it drives off?

Not really the idea of a drive-through is it  ::)

Or if they are sat in the back of a four door car they just wind the window down and reach out...

I think you'll find that our cash points have brail on them too....

I think if there was Braille on road signs then we would have reason to worry!

Glad to receive your apology at least JPC!!

I am sure that the male version is missing a small section where they drive up at excessive speed, skid on the brakes having overshot the machine and have to reverse back again using elbows to steer cos with one hand they are chatting on the mobile with their mates organising where they are meeting up for a beer (hence the need for more cash) and with the other they are already sticking their hand out with the card over eager as always to "slip it in the slot"...  ;)

In any event this whole scenario is unlikely to apply to me cos I am not one of those lazy gits that cant walk to a cash point!  Whatever next, a drive thru gym?!!!

You don't need to apologise to me JP - that is the script exactly. The very first drive through ATM was in fact in Liverpool! It was at Midland Bank in Bootle if I recall correctly.

The same kind of thing happens when you come to pay for petrol in France - very awkward when you have the RHD and not the LHD voiture at the time.

See you soon.

luv

I get dissapointed when things are written in braille because I can't read them.
How do braille traffic lights work?
If a blind person with pins and needles in their fingers  a bit like dyslexia?



I'll get my coat.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here
