On Politeness
Here's a titbit pertaining to the government initiative to make people more polite.
A few weeks ago juggler Timo Wopp was a guest on Midweek, talking about performances with Medium Rare, a forthcoming season with Cirque De Soleil, and his work as a motivational speaker using the techniques of juggling to solve issues in the workplace. He stayed in the Pink Boudoir at the top of the house where I lodge, and I was asked by Chris Paling, producer of Midweek, to get him to Broadcasting House by eight-thirty in the morning.
Coming back from a fodder run to Tesco Metro the night before, we went via the bus stop for the sake of Doubting Timo.
“About every ten to twelve minutes”, he read out. “Would that not be okay for us tomorrow so early, even though they have missed out from it specific times? Must we really walk as you say?”
“They’ve also missed out from it the words Once Upon A Time. Sorry, but I really think it would be better to walk.”
And walk we did. It took about fify minutes door to door, and we went the scenic route through hard cash and chestnut lined streets. Timo had a suitcase on wheels with him.
“It is so early, I must pick this up and carry it. It will disturb.”
There speaks the artist.
