    I don`t know you or your dad, but having lots of health issues myself it is nice to know that others are thinking of you, I wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.

    Don't believe we've met but please pass on Fanny's best wishes and give him a hug from me too.

    Something I've always worried about losing is my sight ...Mum has macular degeneration and her Ddad was partially sighted .Not sure how anyone could come to terms with not being able to see loved ones' faces, read all those wonderful books and of course watch our lads play the Beautiful Game.

    We know you'll try to be your Dad's eyes as much as possible, Jimmy but hopefully his sight will improve as he gets stronger.

    Please keep us informed about his progress.

    Thanks for letting us know Jimmy. Hope your Dad is feeling better soon.

    As far as accessibility software goes, there's lots of different types - what's best depends on what type of operating system he's running, and how bad the visual impairment is. The more recent versions of Windows have a bunch of accessibility tools built in, including Magnifier (zooms in to one part of the screen) and Narrator (which reads the on screen text). For Windows7 start here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/windows7/default.aspx (there's links for Win8 & Vista in the sidebar too). I'm sure Apple will have similar stuff too.

    Unfortunately, the basic screenreader probably won't be much cop for web-based stuff like Charlton Life, cos it'll try to read all the code stuff within the pages that we can't see, but helps it run properly. Chrome and Firefox have extensions that you can install (ChromeVox and Fire Vox respectively) for reading webpages, but I've not tried them myself, so can't say how good they are.

    Genuine question for you Trolleybus fans. Is there any more to this than co-incidence?

    Nice one, Stig. Jimmy will have fun explaining that to his dad!

    Stig - a very nice thought I wouldn't think it's any more than coincidence. The trolleybus motif I guess is from the mid-30s, predating our beloved badge by 30 years.

    No trolleybus services actually ran in Charlton (unless maybe there were rush-hour journeys extended west of Woolwich); however, the local trolleybuses running out of Bexleyheath Depot did have a connection through to the Central Tram and Trolleybus Works in Charlton.

    And we haven't even mentioned the 36, 38 and 40 trams yet, eh, March ?
