...e health centres did the same. You can always give them your translators number instead of your own if she or he agrees. I know several people do this.

Hi Lyn,

Yes that is what we now do, they ring my translator, or they are suppose to, the last time they still rang me, luckily I was in the house, but the person that rang, had no patience what so ever, luckily my translator was actually at the hospital so managed to sort it out. What a Palaver!!!

Wonderful for you Jenni but as you live in Spain presumably not much good unless you can find a fellow signer. I've finally got my appointment at the health centre thanks to my lovely neighbours both of whom are English teachers and rang up for me. I watch sky news in the mornings which have a written headlines underneath, then we buy an English paper as well. So keep up that way.

Hi Lyn,

I think you are under the misapprehension that I am hard of hearing. and I can see why you would assume that, but my hearing is fine, I complained about the lack of signing because I just cant stand discrimination of any kind.

Lyn, I think you meant the "wrong end of the stick" and you're right.
