Exactly.
As long as money is finite someone is going to get a less than perfect
situation for the time being. And isn't everyone a special case these days?

Wheelchair users are, judging by the amount of money spent on them, far
more important than normal people. I feel left out! I'm deaf, and I
*demand* that TfL spend at least a billion pounds next year on:

* elocution lessons for all their staff;
* redundancy payments for those who still can't talk proper afterwards;
* setting the volume exactly right on all tannoys at all times and in
all places;
* suppressing all echoes in tube stations

Far more people have hearing difficulties than have walking
difficulties, so this should obviously be a higher priority.
