Have you been refused entry to or asked to leave a venue due to a lack of understanding about CP

In the news this week there is a story of a woman with Cerebral Palsy who was refused entry to a pub because the door staff believed her to be drunk. The management company have since apologised and will implement disability awareness training for all staff.
Has anything similar happened to you or family and friends?

Sadly over the years I've spoken to numerous people who have experienced discrimination because their CP (and occasionally other neurological conditions) has been mistaken for drunkenness. I've even heard of people who have shown documentary evidence of their condition and still been disbelieved and turned away.
