Just what is a VIP? That's the question that entered my mind as I wandered through Norwich today. I saw a poster at one of the city's cinemas advertising larger, more comfortable seats for VIPs. Now VIP obviously stands for Very Important Person but these seats weren't for important people, just those willing to pay more for their cinema experience. So does the importance of a person really equate to the amount of money they have or the amount they are prepared to pay for a service? Well it does appear so. But it isn't money that turns you into a truly important person it's behaviour and attitude and of course people with the right behaviour and attitude do not consider themselves important.
Spent much of the day in Norwich. Had six layers of clothing on to see me through the visit to Carrow Road to see Norwich beat Bolton 2-0 and it could have been five or six, that's how dominant we were. It was a bitterly cold day and no surprise when we left a quiz at Cringleford School to find quite deep snow outside. Thankfully driving conditions weren't too bad and we got home safely after finishing fourth!
Before going to Norwich I popped into Hethersett Library to pick up two stories for my web site and the local papers. The first was a promotion for the local talking newspaper for the blind and the second preparation of a display of information on the 1948 London Olympic Games which includes photographs I took last year when the 1948 torch visited Hethersett.
