A woman who gets interrupted, ignored and hung up on due to her stammer is calling for a universal symbol to indicate a speech impediment and buy her patience.

Jessie Yendle, 31, developed a stammer aged three and grew up being bullied and teased for it at school.

Jessie says people such as substitute teachers struggled to understand what she was saying - and the pressure of trying to explain it just made her stammer worse.
