    No, I can't use a mobile. I've tried.  I'm partially sighted and partially deaf.  I find the amount of information and connections too much too take on.  So I'm not saying anything is illegal.  Please try to understand.  If I'm outside, I have to fiddle with hearing aids and spectacles like so many others my age.  I'm trying to say that the world has changed so much that now I can't handle it in the real world.  I shop locally so that the little shops are kept going, even though I have internet access on my laptop at home.  It means a lot to me to keep a community going.  It just feels like increasing I'm made to feel marginalised for not having a mobile.  
    I used to have guy come in the RM office to get labels printed from a QR code on his phone.
    He was blind and used the accessibility voice option on the phone to navigate menus.
