I went last night, to (finally!) see "The Dark Knight Rises". Minus my boy, I have to add, as he came down with a bad flu the day before, poor wee soul. But I can't blame Mareel for that (no, honestly, Siccar, I can't!).

Being that I am waiting for spinal surgery & find sitting for any length of time quite uncomfortable, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a long movie, but I was quite comfortable throughout, which is more than I can say for most mainland cinemas I have been in. It was quite well laid out, the staff were exceptionally pleasant and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

The only small criticism (and I know I'm asking too much!) is that I walk with a cane, but am not registered as Disabled (although I do have the blue parking badge - not that that counts for much in Shetland, as anyone and everyone seem to park in the reserved disabled spaces around the isles, as they can't be bothered to walk!). So threading your way sideways through the narrow seating spaces is quite difficult - and I'm sure it's troublesome for the other cinemagoers! But those of us in the same position as me will just have to persevere. There's no recognition of my level of disability, and not all of us require carers or wheelchair access seats. Never mind, we will cope!

But none of that (very small) gripe - directed at many more places than Mareel - takes away from what was a very enjoyable evening, with a quite stunning movie to watch. If only my boy could have been there...

Now I can't wait for "Dredd"!!

I'm glad you enjoyed your night out.

FYI, there is no such thing as "registered disabled". Some peeps are known to Social Services, others are not. Peeps can choose if they want to claim Disability Living Allowance and even if you don't meet the 16hr min. requirement to claim that, you can still be deemed in statute to have a disability. Not only that, peeps may or may not be claiming other benefits that contain a disability element.

The legal definition is something along the lines of that if you have a condition that affects your day-to-day living for more than 6 months then you have a disability and service providers have an obligation in law to make reasonable adjustments to meet your needs.[/quote]

Unliked whit exactly is dy condition?

I assume its mair mental da physical?

Just goin by dy posts?

Bringing this thread nicely back on topic. The line up for the 'Official Opening season' looks fantastic. Discuss.
