    Great news and well done to your son.

    It's a win-win for Amazon too, as they get to show their "caring" side.
    surely there is some legal requirement as well?

      Well the minister responsible for the disabled didn't seem to think so when my son spoke to him a couple of months ago. The minister was firmly on the side of the streaming companies saying that it was too expensive.
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

This evening he got a call and was told that they are going to start providing Audio Description on all films where the audio description track is provided - pretty much all DVD's at the moment. This is after months of being told its not cost effective by NetFlix, Sky and Amazon and even the minister who represents disabled people.

        No time scales yet but things are looking good.
        Epic win!

              He'll never become PM as he supports UKIP - when I say support he knows Farrage as they speak fairly often. They wanted him to speak at their last 2 conferneces but he couldn't do it due to school commitments.
