Balls, Banks, and hectic bumps !

So I make up my mind that its the day to sort out my internet banking which I blocked numerous times whilst in Alcatraz.  Our good ol ' Google pinpoints at least 4 in the Borough /  Bank area, closest one being in Borough High Sttreet. Get there to find too many stairs and NO wheelchair access. A very dis-interested staff member advises that we should head for Lloyds situated right next to Monument - we head off over London brdge, with Jeeves behind me because of uneven pavements !!!! - We find the Lloyds - with a completly refurbed frontage, sort of travatine tiled steps up to the revolving door - NO  WHEELCHAIR ACCESS !! Super pissed off now, a sort of interested man gets my full on verbal abuse ! - he apologises,  and explains that they are an admin site with no banking facility and sends us off to Lloyds in Cheapside. .........make up my mind that stressing about it, aint gonna help .

Get to Cheapside ....... and all I see is STEPS...........I have now lost all will to live !,,!  Start blaming this chair, and everyone around me who can walk ! .............. ' Get your shit together ' I say to myself. And with that a Lloyds employer entering the building asks me if I am needing any help - She now gets the whole brunt of the cripple shit and how un-user friendly Lloyds Bank is with regards to wheelchair accessibility !!! CLAIR MARTIN you rock !!!! She organized that I could enter via the employies door - one step, easily lifted by Jeeves and all looked like things were coming together !!........NO , chair too wide - by now i am considering a course in Anger Managing !

So my new best friend, Clair, asks me if I will emtrust her to use my phone and there on the uneven paved pavement we begin the banking required - Clair running to and fro inside and out - Banking now sorted !!!  - Thank you Clair - I will call her manager and tell him / her.

Point of the blog is to make sure before you venture out, call the place you intend going to, to ensure they have ramp access !

The ' Clair's ' of the world are very few and far between....... Lloyds Bank suck with regards ramp access - gonna do some research on other banks access - will keep you posted.

Until then.......
