What would they make of my little story. Even at my age I can easily walk the 6 floors at work to my desk, all on my own, nobody holding my hand or supplying me oxygen but at BHX I have to go to the special assistance point to be escorted up one flight of stairs .

If you want to be taken seriously as a professional organisation that is not the way to do it. In fairness there is a reason, ironically probably based on self-inflicted health n safety concerns during the construction work, which in my opinion could also cause other health safety issues in itself (I saw barricades against staircases).

However if you take the first paragraph alone you really couldn't really make it up. An airport without stairs, of course that isn't quite true but still funny on the one hand, all I wanted to do was catch the monorail to railway station, how difficult can that be (they insist in this totalitarian state you must use the lifts)..... and before you ask, I declined and walked all on my own.
