The London Aquarium has signs up in braille.
"What's wrong with that, Laura?" you might ask. "Don't you believe that blind people have as much right to enjoy our fishy friends as the rest of us?"
Think about it though. The Aquarium has signs. In. Braille. What the fuck do they say?
Here's a guess:
"Fish."
"Fish."
"Blue fish."
"Turtle."
"Double decker bus. Not really, but we had you going, didn't we?"
Or do you think they're more knowing than that? If I was in charge of braille signs at London Aquarium (and one day I will be, you mark my words) they would probably read more like this:
"Your family brought you to London Aquarium. They must really hate you. Look at all the pretty fish. Oh, wait a minute, you can't. Please follow the tour to Zone 2."
"Back again are you? So, been up to much lately? Oh, there's not much here. Fish and shit. Some are quite big, and the others are small-ish. Are your family taking you on the London Eye afterwards? No? Thought not. Please go to Zone 3."
"Seriously, haven't you given this up yet? OK, here's the deal. There's water. And fish. And that's about your lot. We're playing some seaside sound effects, but really you're not going to get a lot more than that out of it. Now, why don't you go and sit in McDonalds for a bit until your group has finished?"
In other news, I have man flu. Please commence sympathy.

Ah - poor Laura. Man flu is really nasty. Causes most men to think they are going to die! You won't though, you will get better and live a long and happy life. :o)
