I speak "international"!

[hamble99b]

whilst pushing, or being trundled in, the wheelchair around London I didn't want to keep saying "excuse me please" so I decided to use something simple, easy to understand in any language - "beep beep"!

This worked wonderfully and almost everyone smiled and moved. One French lady smiled and said "beep, beep?" to which I replied in my best school french "Internationale oui?" she laughed and said "you are correct". So now we know, "beep beep"is International and I can speak it fluently! Feel free to use it.

chuckles, sandra.

My kids put a bicycle bell on my chair!! I also have one of those horn things. It started at home when the animals (dogs & cats) & the kids too kept getting in my way but I have also used it out and about on occasion, just the bell & gently... People seem to find it amusing & I haven't received any nasty comments as yet - especially as the bell has a picture of tortoise on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have a picture of a tortoise with a little note that I leave by the door if I'm on my own. The note says: "Please be patient, sometimes I'm a little s l o w when answering the door!! Again this seems to work.

Gentle Hugs xx

Thats a wonderful day and you made me smile. the horn on my mobiliy buggy is more like a squeak, like a mouse, nobody hears it.

My husband wants bull bars and a bull horn attached to his wheelchair.....he is the patient sort! Lol

Thank you Sandra

It always amazes me that when you become disabled you 'seem' to become invisible too!

I might go out and buy an air horn - the louder the better!
