I think the thread is on track:
E.mails received today included: "forwarded the e-mail below and attachment, which was forwarded to him. I thought you might be interested in the newspaper cutting. Is there no shame with these people" ?? and: "Hopefully we can all let our contempt of this known in good time to stop it even starting".
The mail was only opened today and was sent at the time, I was actually away and missed this.
What is important is the fact all has been halted, but no real explanation has been given for the very thought initially raising it's ugly head.
Moving Venues blamed the press and media, so had it not been for the papers etc, this would have gone ahead ? They also announce those that had booked have been contacted all rearranged, some had already booked ?
Reports are of cancelled for now and possibly going ahead next year ?
Trinity seems not to have released anything yet:
Seems the PR people are well happy that all seems to have blown over:
I do agree that the bankers alone should not be knocked, but that was the press angle and it did bring all to our attention.
I will update any news items that I find that have some relevance, it is important that we do not also seem content with the situation.
I feel that much will be swept under the carpet unless we keep this alive and am generally not adding my own views but media reports. The RBS release was on the 14th of October, well in the midst of the row, PR teams are working over time to attempt to show that they are not connected.
So many bodies have worked to ensure this plan would fail, so many answers have not been given, it is to early to sit on laurels, it is important to ensure no one ever thinks this way again and I attempt to add anything related from the media to the forum, that all can be either informed by or discuss: This post does contain some of my own views:
It is only with explanations, answerers and promises that we may lower the guard.
These may come, until then we must keep on top of all and not let those that may differ, take the upper hand.
While we sit back and wait, they will be planning:
Off My Soap Box, expecting differing views and reply, but this is dear to me and many others that I am in contact with that request more info on what is now occurring: I can tell them only that we are waiting, no news, could be good news ?

Wave of emotion for memories of sailors:
THE now-abandoned proposal to hold city bankers’ parties in the garden of the Tower Hill Merchant Navy memorial, in London, incensed a number of readers.
Little wonder, as it stirred memories of loved ones whose names appear on the tablets.
