Guide dogs on EasyJet, Strangers who try to help you out

BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Guide dogs on EasyJet, Strangers who try to help you out

EasyJet admit they got it wrong with a guide dog. And when strangers try to help.

Guide dogs must meet certain conditions before flying but this time EasyJet admit to us they got it wrong. And what to do if a complete stranger tries to help but it's not needed.

In order to fly, guide dogs must have the correct paperwork, but EasyJet admit to us that they got it wrong recently with one passengers and his dog. They apologise and say they'll be more flexible in future. 
And when does helping become interfering? We've come across a new situation where well-meaning strangers are tapping on your smart phones, thinking they're off when actually you're using a privacy setting called a screen curtain. So what should you do? Tom Walker reports.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
