It's all about pandering to/accommodating the masses, the average, the middle, the commonplace, the mean. Oh, wait! That smacks of classism. How terrible of me. There will be a stoning of yours truly today at precisely Noon on the quad ala Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Heinz-UlrichWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259686799198265906.post-66645175298306410042015-04-23T06:19:00.433-07:002015-04-23T06:19:00.433-07:00We are in the middle of a general election in the ...We are in the middle of a general election in the UK at the moment and although I'm pretty interested in politics, I do not as a matter of course discuss politics with work colleagues, client's etc as frankly most people here consider politicians in general one of the lowest forms of life going. Still, yesterday morning having just collected the firm's mail first thing from the main post office (necessary if not the posties don't deliver it until about lunch) I get ambushed by the local BBC radio station presenters who were doing a live street broadcast about the election from my town. <br /><br />Now by way of back ground, the parliamentary seat here is one of the safest seats in the whole country so you could stick a blue rosette on a sack of potatoes and they would still get voted in. The result is fairly high levels of apathy. The reason I am dragged into this street discussion is certainly not to hear any views I have but I am walking past in a suit, polished shoes, pink checked shirt and a decent tie. The lady presenter really is more interested in complimenting me (v nice of her to do so) but also to berate her male co-presenter for dressing so badly. This wasn't helped by me observing that in days gone by the BBC radio presenter would wear a dinner jacket when reading the news.<br /><br />Needless to say after about 20 seconds the interview was cut short! Back to obscurity.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Guyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259686799198265906.post-33399830433934459562015-04-22T00:00:25.338-07:002015-04-22T00:00:25.338-07:00In spite of my failing eyesight, I can clearly mak...In spite of my failing eyesight, I can clearly make out Laurence Fellows' (not Follows' or Saalburg's) signature on the illustration.
