The other day I had a surprising comment on my blog. I’ve not approved it for reading because it was from a reporter!
She’d read my story about my success in complaining to a local Asda store and wanted to write it up for our local paper.
On Friday night I was out with friends for the first farewell of many (we’re moving to the Vicarage very shortly). As I told them about the paper’s interest, Mrs Discoman commented that she never took her children down the magazine aisle because of the lads mags on display.
Another friend announced that she would be going into a local Asda and doing exactly the same thing as I had – putting the complaint in writing and indicating that a lack of action would affect her shopping habits ie that she would no longer patronise the store. So it seems that the campaign is spreading already!
The reporter I spoke to wanted to write about how I’d had success with my complaint, so she’s going to interview me properly in the next few days and send a photographer round.
Hence the hair appointment.

Because, obviously, you don’t have enough to keep you busy in the next few weeks. 😉
Hope it goes well.
Well done, I have felt strongly about this for many years and its about time we the Church got together along these issues. I am also encouraged about the report by Linda Papadoulos commissioned by the government which recommends much more control on the way things are at present. I am hoping to take some ideas to the local ‘gweini’ a Churches together forum for some interest and support. God Bless The Vicars Wife
Thanks Terry and welcome to our Vicarage. I heard about Linda Papadopoulos’ report on the Today programme this morning. It will be interesting to see whether any legislation results.
