At the end of "See It My Way" Peter White had been appointed the BBC's Disability Affairs Correspondent. In "Do You Know Where You Are?" he recounts his adventures at home and abroad as a professional broadcaster who just happens to be blind. With scant regard for political correctness he describes the obstacles he encounters and the scrapes he gets into, and demonstrates with humour and intelligence what pleasure he gets from his job and his life. The book covers his visit to Australia to commentate on the 2000 ParaOlympics, to India where he and his wife enjoy a long sabbatical, and to dozens of locations within the UK where he has to cope with situations which would tax anyone with 20/20 vision.
