Lack of Leadership?

Filed under: Uncategorized — consideratehoteliers @ 9:08 am

My first blog for a while. I am very angry, and yet in the great scheme of things the subject I am furious about doesn’t register highly on the important issues list.

A letter written in today’s DT indicated that at a recent meeting about crime in the community in the West Midlands, when asked to register on a handset if you were male or female, to general amusement a wag asked “What if you are transgendered?” The person chairing the meeting, to much laughter, replied that those people should press buttons A & B. Two days later the “chair” was marched off to the local police station questioned by a sergeant and inspector and given a warning because a complaint had been made about homophobia.

My point is this. Isn’t it about time our intensely PC authorities showed some real leadership and backbone and told whoever came forward with such drivel to stop wasting police time, get out more and get a life. It would be even better if the government of the day scrapped such laws that could be interpreted in this way but then that really is asking too much and I apologise unreservedly for making such an unreasonable suggestion.

Normal service on this blog will now be resumed after this totally out of character outburst.

Because You’re Worth It

Filed under: Uncategorized — consideratehoteliers @ 5:34 pm

Congratulations to Well Worth which has just opened in Dorchester, Dorset. The shop is run by the former manager of Woolworth’s which closed around Christmas with a large number of job losses and the new shop has taken over theĀ  Woolworth site so no change there then.

The shop has a similar concept to Woolworth but more dynamic, locally focussed and an all things to all people approach. Staff have their jobs back, the locals are in support and I wish Well Worth every success. Well worth going to see, and it appears there is considerable interest in the idea in other parts of the UK.
