So having speaking signs for the blind etc seems only
fair. Also indicator boards for the deaf.


That's all very well for blind and deaf people who can
read and speak English. But what of any ethnic minority
passengers who can't ?* Is it really fair on them ?

Won't that make them feel even more disadvantaged ?

"They taken these special measures for English speaking
passengers, but not for us." (Although obviously they'll
be thinking this in their own language)

* The same might also be said to apply to some tourists
