Watch & Learn: Sign Language for Beginners
Although there are so many books out there to support people with deafness, I’ve decided present something unique which I hope will be useful…
This is my book about British Sign Language (BSL) with the alphabet shown in both upper case and lower case letters – ideal for teaching young people and easy to understand. In fact, a healthy curb for anyone experiencing deafness for the first time.
There is so much stigma in our society against people with special needs, whatever they may be. I strongly believe that everyone should be included and treated equally and that those who need will benefit from this guide.
My book is a fully-illustrated, inspiring, impressively large and powerful book about British Sign Language (BSL).

You Call, We Haul: The Life and Times of Bob Carter (Old Pond Books) Inspirational Story of the Founder of Haulage Company, Trans UK; Explore British Transport in the Heyday of…
Best known for founding international haulier Trans UK, Bob Carter was involved in the groundbreaking changes occurring in British transport of the ’60s and ’70s. Beginning in the army, where he witnessed nuclear testing on Christmas Island in the 1950s, Carter went on to be a driver, office worker, and, finally, company owner.
Never afraid to get his hands dirty, Bob was able to turn his hand to any aspect of his business operation, from repairing mechanical defects to operating forklifts and driving his own trucks. In 1975, he set out on Trans UK’s maiden run to Iran in his Humber Sceptre with four of his trucks in convoy—the first trip of many for the company.
The denationalization of BRS and the implementation of the ‘O’ licence, the rapid growth of privately owned haulage companies, combined with the Middle East oil boom of the ’70s, all helped Bob to develop a successful British and international transport operation.
Including nearly 300 previously unpublished photos, You Call, We Haul is an inspirational story which will appeal to those with an interest in the heyday of Middle East travel, and those with a general love of great British transport companies.
