>Hi Gordon,<

Hello there - Have we met before ??  :-)

> Anyone that saw me probably thought I was drunk.  It's the little stupid things in life that really bug me...........<

Maybe you were ? :-)

Nope - you werent.. 

- To anyone with young kids with CP / other  - I would encourage you to get them involved with the Scouts / Girl-Guides  etc....

When i lived in london, I was with a good scout-troop, & at the time, was able to walk a lot better than i do now..

- I did Kyaking (ignore my spelling - i guess you know what im talking about), ab-sailing, rock-climbing, canooing etc.. - lots of great stuff.. 

But when i came to NZ, in 1983, we tried to find a scout-group here for me to join one here..

- The ones in UK/London, were more open / encouraging - the one in NZ wasnt - never joined.. :-(

- The one in UK - wasnt a disabled-group - I was the only "disabled" person there, but didnt miss out on much.. 

But im sure there are some good 'disabled' scout/guide groups in other countries - so check them out..  - might expand your / your kids / your partners lives...

Gordon.
