Replying to @AerLingus
@AerLingus pls consider passengers who can’t stand. If the armrests don’t rise fully, some of us can’t get into those seats! When using the aisle chair, having passengers board concurrently is #embarrassing & #illogical as the chair blocks the aisle! #disability #travel. – at Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Flying with @AerLingus today…baffled by the large number of people using wheelchairs for priority boarding in USA…who on arrival stood up, got their luggage easily from overhead bins, & promptly walked off the plane unaided….#Travel #Disability #CommonSense – at Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

@Argos_Online please update delivery Info. Waited all day for £300+ item on delivery date - no word & no product. @ArgosHelpers I lost a days wages. An hr on live chat & 1/2 hr in phone Q b4 speaking to someone…ooops it was delayed @YodelOnline isn’t good enough - comms impt! – at Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Devastated! How can OT get things so wrong consistently? After much grief & eventually ~3 month wait wheelchair delivered….won’t fit through front / back door😱. Internal door 36”👇🏻. We bought & collected 1 the next day that works perfectly. @setrust @NI_RDP @RCOTNIreland

@mirmrtn @22Q11_NI @sujas15 @myawareUK @BehcetsUK @christinezoo I’m printing this for the car window today 🌞 #DistanceAware :)
Using the very clever #DistanceAware templates from
@iliff_helen & team I've adapted a generic one as requested by some local folk. I hope this was what you wanted 😃 #RareDiseaseNI @NI_RDP @CPH_QUB #ThankYou for making these so easy to 'personalise' and use beyond Wales!
Agreed!
For most of the population yes...but I will also be ultra cautious. Remember not everyone is as capable as others & #COVID19 is still a likely horrendous hospital experience (many #RareDiseaseNI pts need 24/7 1-1 support) & death sentence if caught. #NotWorthIt @DamianFog
So frustrating! General public needs reminded this is very serious for some of us! Please help us stay safe & follow #SocialDistancing
How many times do people walk into a shop and press the ‘button’ on the top of hand sanitiser...yet when a scientist reads the label it’s only 30% alcohol & nothing that would inactivate / remove #COVID-19 #NotReassuring.
So important. So many appointments delayed & cancelled...centres of excellence are across the water & nowhere to stay tho clinics are opening...#RareDiseaseNI @NI_RDP
& what about people with #RareDiseaseNI who / whose family need to stay overnight for specialist medical treatment. It’s tiring travelling long distances. Please open hotels ; Airbnb to help keep people as healthy as possible @NI_RDP @bbcnewsline @StephenNolan @rarediseaseuk
