Do you ever get the feeling that people don't properly read e-mails you send and don't answer points made? Yesterday I mentined the use of inappropriate music at a fashion show by John Lewis at the Royal Norfolk Show. I sent them an e-mail saying that London Calling by The Clash was not appropriate music for a clebration of British life. Here was their reply:
Dear Peter
Thank you for your email, regarding the Fashion Show you at the Royal Norfolk shoe.
I am sorry if the final choice of dance music offended you, as I am sure this was not the intention.
The person who set up the fashion show, would have been selecting music suitable for the show and maybe did not know the meaning of the song. I will pass your comments on, as this will assist us with future events.
If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
No music offends me - I listen to Eminem! I actually found the use of the Clash to be amusing but was just pointing out that they really needed to have the music chosen by somebody who knew what they were doing. Paragraph three is amusing as they state the person would have been selecting music suitable for the show and that's exactly what they didn't do!! And incidentally what exactly is the Royal Norfolk shoe?
Onto the Olympic games and the massive own goal that is leaving David Beckham out of the Team GB football squad. This is quite ludicrous. The man, irrespective of whether you like him or not, is a national treasure who has done so much to promote the London 2012 Olympics. To include him in the squad would have been a fitting end to his career. To have left him out is completely churlish and suggests that coach Stuart Pearce and the selectors (whoever they may be) are out of tune with the public (as if we didn't already know that). They need to realise that football may be our national and most popular sport and also arguably the most popular sport in the world, but when it comes to the Olympic games it is almost a minority sport of only limited interest (as ticket sales have already shown). Including Beckham would have been a thank you for all his hard work. And I bet he wouldn't have let anyone down on the pitch either, which is more than can be said for some of the second rate England players on display at the recent Euro Championships
Still on the sports theme. I am glad that one of the big three - Rafael Nadal - has been knocked out of Wimbledon. It keeps the interest in the men's singles going. It was getting rather boring watching the big three win everything. Now we might have the chance of a lesser known light making the final (perhaps even Andy Murray).
