town crier 'not infamous blogger' shock

After further protestations of authenticity, I am now fully willing to accept that undercurrent has indeed been blessed with the comments of the real Peter Moore, Town Crier to the Mayor of London. But with people like sphaleotas around you can't be too careful, as Tom'o'Connor is soon to discover.

Anyway, as Peter himself says : "RE YOUR COMMENTS ON YOUR WEB PAGE I AM NOT A INFAMOUS BLOGGER. I HAVE BEEN TOWN CRIER FOR OVER 25YRS. ".

And let that be an end to the matter. Sometimes, you know, I wish I'd never got caught up in the strange and frightening world of town criers. It could make a good photographic project though, 21st-century town criers, what do you say, guys?

Tom’s fantastic. I’ve been a fan of his since he hosted a regional opt-out in 1976.

As Deepak Sawhney used to say: Be nice.

As the world economy continues to develop, employment opportunities will be focused in the service sector, which will ultimately expand to encompass the vast majority of workers in all successful societies, with only a diminishing rump of agricultural and manufacturing workers participating in the "primary" and "secondary" sectors. The result will be cheaper food and products, higher standards of living, more challenging and stimulating jobs and ever greater chances for creative participation in productive life.

Prepare to be torn apart.
