A few months ago I was waiting to meet a friend in Trafalgar Square and noticed this little sign posted on a construction fence.
Here’s an up-close shot of the sign itself:
I take it that “Guests” and “Wheelchair users” aren’t particularly welcome here.
“I take it that “Guests” and “Wheelchair users” aren’t particularly welcome here.”
Now, Liam, let’s not jump to conclusions. Guests and wheelchair users are welcome to clamber over the gate.
Cheers,

@ QI –
Ha-ha! Maybe this is Lord Coe’s attempt to get the ‘Wheelchair Users’ fit for the London 2012 Paralympics …
if only it were in the USA we would get the ADA folk on that.
Thats like inviting a law suit, seriously. If only it was United States, folks would have sued their pants off.
To be honest, I didn’t try to actually enter. I assumed the fence was really there and not some holographic image meant to deter those not brave enough to try. So I can’t say with 100% certainty that guests and wheelchair users couldn’t enter quite easily.
@ Mom –
Indeed, I believe you are correct.
@ Tazeen –
Ha-ha. You’re spot on. It would be one thing if there were someone managing the gate, allowing wheelchair users and guests in, but there certainly didn’t seem to be.
