Off topic, but why is the Megan Du Boison so called?
Megan du Boisson was a campaigner (1960s ?) trying to improve the financial circumstances of disabled people. I think the idea was to get disabled people to speak up for themselves and demand asssitance. Among other things this led to the attendance allowance, which lots of people benefit from today. It covered the cost of home care visits for my old Dad a couple of years back and I guess this is when most people find out about it.
Many thanks Andy.
