I recently reviewed a couple of PDF forms for compliance with WCAG 2 and the inconsistent way the test screen readers handled these forms threw up several interesting issues or questions. Sorry I am unable to show the forms or describe them in detail due to a NDA; however in general they both contain a […]
Lusher’s College for Ladies was the most exclusive girls’ school in the state and Sky was a proud old-girl. The sight of Jane entering the shop dressed in a brand new uniform of her old school triggered a Pavlov like response in Sky, who immediately broke into a rendition of the school war cry, complete […]
With the top half of his body in the “Deli-bar”, a contorted Dean Thomas was obsessively cleaning the inside of the sloping glass front of the cabinet when Sky Crystal entered the Deli. “You should be careful rubbing the glass so hard Mr Thomas. It may melt.” Sky said. Taking the comment as a joke, […]

Across the desk, his personal assistant, Ralph […]
“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” is a great movie that is likely to be of interest to anyone interested in accessibility. When the movie came out a couple of years ago, a friend of mine Phil, who is an experienced film maker and cameraman, told me it was terrific and I had to make […]
Before his morning drive with Elliott Price from Fleece Industrial, Ray Purvis had already made considerable progress with the shopping centre proposal. His company had purchased nearly all the land when, with what might pass as a stroke of genius in the opportunistic world of the property developer, he found a way to hasten the […]

Not inclined to be superstitious, and if anything a bit of a sceptic, Madge always found great solace in this technological variant of voodooism, confident in the knowledge that no […]
Not surprisingly the interior of “Thomas Delicatessen and Fine Foods” was as spotlessly clean as the exterior.
