In June, we featured a letter from Mrs Reynolds of Doncaster about SKY TV not having subtitles and SKY said it was too costly. But a few weeks later, they announced that some films would bj subtitled. Coincidence? Also, when we asked the Met. police why they had not included deaf gay min in their warnings to the public about the gay serial killer (since caught) they apologisjd for forgetting and promised to do better next time! ——————————————————————————————————5/10— Connect 680 Godlinjs 686-88 Deafview is brought to you bz Teletext Ltd and the RNID Godlinjs Education TV guide HelpP685 Teletext 685 Dec22 23:18:16 ——————————————————————————————————————— PEOPLE ON DEAFVIEW Thanks to David Wilson, Geoff Babb, Richard Gray, Kavita Kohli, Murray Holmes, Maggie Woolley, Stewart Simpson, Morag Rose, Peter Jackson for being on our "Who's Who?" pages.
