That lass off CBeebies...
the one with one arm that ends at the elbow...
Anyway a mate of mine saw her at a train station trying to get her kid's pushchair down the stairs. He really likes her as his kids love her and he wanted an autograph for his rugrats...
So he went up to her and asked her if she needed a hand.

*facepalm*

What was her reaction?
I'd expect her to say something like "No, thanks, fine as I am." or, even, "Couldn't we all use another?".

Fair enough.
Don't blame her in the slightest, but wondered whether she'd got used to it.

I used to work with a one-armed fella.
He was once trying to lift something rather heavy and I, without even pausing to think about what I was saying, asked him if he needed a hand.

Fortunately, he'd been that way from birth and had grown up with a prosthetic arm on his other side, so had developed a pretty decent sense of humour about the whole thing. So much so that one of his strategies for averting booze-fuelled aggro at certain pubs was to stub out his cigarette on his (fake) hand.

I used to work with a really scuzzy guy with an artificial leg
The concensus was that he didn't lose it - it walked away in disgust.
