Michael Grimmett went for a meal with his PA at his local pizza restaurant after booking and asking for wheelchair access into the building.  When he arrived, the ramp that they provided was not accessible. Michael had to sit outside and was enjoying his meal until it started raining. In this episode, Michael explains why in his own words why he decided to stay at the restaurant and his experience of ableism and lack of access for disabled people in general.
