Questions without foresight

CPS News, the unremittingly positive in-house journal for Crown Prosecution Service staff, this month ran a big feature on what the service was doing for blind employees.

Alongside this, the journal ran its usual 'Q&A' column spotlighting a member of staff and this month featuring Shirley Grizedale, a blind typist in CPS Cumbria's Carlisle office.

The column uses the same questions every month, but perhaps a jot of common sense might have seen them exclude the 'What can you see from your window?' query.

'Nothing,' Shirley responded.

'I am blind.'
