I've been down to Southampton for the TS's AGM and Annual dinner. The hotel's sign welcomed "The Tolkein Society", so a copy of the Times was found in the lobby, and the "i" and "e" from the header were blu-taked onto the sign in the appropriate places. The manager noticed us doing this, and was sufficiently embarrased that he went off and printed out a new correct version. Thankfully, the menus were spelt correctly! The speaker was interesting, and much discussion ensued.

To paraphrase PGGJ: "Horror of Horrors!. *froth* *rant*. Marketing gone mad! Will it be "Classical Music for people with no taste" next, or something?

Anyway, I hear the siren sound of beer calling...
Mood:: 'nostalgic' nostalgic
