Hi, what is the general public like towards your disability? You said you take the bus I believe often and was wondering if people reluctantly offered to help or were people keen?

I ask because I've seen people on public transport be incredibly rude to lots of people and was wondering if you suffered that.

Thank you for answering. That's good to hear that people are nice and supportive.

If you don't mind a follow up question, I remember hearing an interview with a wheelchair bound person who said something similar regarding buggies. They said it would be really helpful if the parent/guardian could carry their child for the bus journey if they had a seat and fold the buggy up. Is that a sentiment you support and has someone done that for you? I thought it was logical personally.

That's nice to hear, glad most people are considerate and try to make it comfortable. I hate when I'm standing on a bus/tube and I see people just flat out refuse to give up a seat or move in situations like that. Though also guess what time of day you go on public transport makes people's reaction differ. Going at rush hour I can imagine people not being too happy to move.

Hi Anna!

The Veep for me took a while to warm to/get very funny, maybe it's because I kept comparing it to The Thick Of It. But I am loving Veep now, the comedy is a lot quicker I feel and certainly sharper.

The Thick Of It was considered a very 'real' show for a lot of civil servants in the UK, have you had a similar experience with the Veep with people working in Washington telling you it is really like that?

Also, what has been the funniest moment off screen when filming the show so far?
