Nothing is as strange (or funny in some ways) as the truth.
A close friend of mine who is totally blind and uses a guide dog was invited to attend an event this Monday gone which was being organised by his local medical centre for people who were blind to introduce them to services available for the blind.
Apparently, everything went well until the main event, when the choir got up to sing.
The music started, the Look of Love by ABC and then nothing but music. My friend asked why they were just playing music and when was the choir going to start, to which he was informed by a member of staff, that the choir was a deaf choir and were signing the song.
How does anyone in the right mind who is arranging an event for the blind, book a choir that only signs? You could not make it up.
