Hmmm..you'll be wanting a list of wheelchair accessible caves next!!

I am suprised there hasnt been an EU law passed DEMANDING that all caves become wheelchair accesible

Eh eh...little bit of politics (said in a Ben Eltonesque styleeee!)

Sorted one anyway! Yordas!!

Im sure many of the old mine cartgates could be re-opened - just reinstall the rails and off you go.

What you need is one of these. just get one with a basket on the front to put beer/ kit in....!!

But EU law requires equality for all WRT clubs, including disabled access to huts so it's only a matter of time before this extends to the caves themselves; I wonder what the penalty for non-compliance is?

Little wonder that councils around the nation are quickly divesting themselves of millstones - Bristol City Council's Colston Hall apparently needs £18.3million spent to make it wheelchair friendly!!!, Malmesbury is selling its council hall `cos it needs £800,000 to make it wheelchair friendly. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for good sense - but when the legislators get stung by their own legislation it's soooo ironic!

But EU law requires equality for all

Good old EU, always useful for nothing at an increased cost to everyone else!

And of course, the UK is the only net contributer to the EU, since West Germany gained the East!
