Thought of the Day (aka rant):  A large number of people in the UK suffer from movement disorders.


 Essential tremor - the most common movement disorder - affects one in 20 people under the age of 40 and one in five people over 65.  (http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/movementdisorders1.shtml)


120,000 people in the UK have Parkinson's. (http://www.hesonline.nhs.uk/Ease/servlet/ContentServer?siteID=1937&categoryID=868)


100,000 have MS. (http://www.mssociety.org.uk/what-is-ms)


300,000 people in the UK suffer from Tourettes. (http://www.touretteshero.com/faq/)


Isn't it time that these people were more represented on TV so that if you're on a train maybe not quite as many people stare at you?  Just think public awareness needs to be raised a bit to reduce the levels of ignorance.
