The following was supplied by our pal Heathcote. We should give Comrade Hudson a rebel medal.
“Gaining access to a maintenance control room, Lloyd Hudson, 35, from Ilford, Essex, was able to locate the chart and corresponding switches for Harrods’ 10,000 external lights. Barricading himself in, Hudson disabled the correct lights until he could spell out his feelings to Harrods bosses and Christmas shoppers alike. He was removed by security guards after an hour-long stand-off, then handed over to police. “He had drunk the best part of two bottles of whisky,” said a spokesperson for the iconic London store, “and it’s that kind of behaviour that got him the sack in the first place.” Hudson has since been released on police bail. Knightsbridge visitors were stunned and sensitive Americans became quite bent out of shape. “Honestly, I am disgusted, ” said Irene Rider, 59, from Gary, Indiana. “I was with my grandchildren. We had just gotten off the bus. I said ‘look everybody’ and pointed up to the lights – but you know what the lights said? They said fuck off. And that is not an appropriate message for a child. At least not at Christmas time.”

ReplyDeleteI've been to Gary, Indiana more than once. Fuck Off is a message often heard by the children of Gary. Christmas doesn't make a difference.

ReplyDelete`at least not at christmas time` i`m crying laughing.
ReplyDeleteHe could do that after 2 bottles of whiskey? I am mighty impressed...
ReplyDeleteYou got a real point there, Ian.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Gary at the same time as the woman in the piece, and anybody objecting to this phrase in that place at that time, would have heard a resounding chorus of Fuck Offs!!
