Hi Deon,

I've experienced this twice with a double daisy CD book.  the first time, I
didn't even realize it and ignored the beginning of the Daisy CD when it
said it was Cd 1 of two.  I thought, no, they are referring to the old
cassette form.  but, sure enough, the CD finished without the book
finishing.  then, only then, did I realise i hadn't got cD2 of that story.
RNIB had sent it but, the post office must have eaten it up, lol!  so, had
to get them to resend volume 2.  the next time though, i did get two CD's
but vol. 2 came a few days later than one.

I think the RNIB can't send two cD's at once in the one package as, no
doubt, the stingy Post Office has an unreasonable limit in weight on what
can go articles for the blind.  in fact, the post office don't like
organisations (such as our local blind society) sending mass malings using
the articles for the blind service.  just rediculous really and shows how
terrible the postal service has become because of this.  I don't think it's
unreasonable for the RNIB to send two CD's in one, or blind societies to
send mass mailings to their members via articles for the blind.  I think the
fault lies with the unreasonable attitude of the royal mail in recent years.
