It is outrageous, Bren
Guys I am really sorry but will need to say no at this stage, it now sounds like I will need to take a group of journalists out for dinner, along with some other managers.
A few hours later....oh lordie what a day, infighting, squabbling and finger pointing at Communications from all directions - but we have been supported by all the managers, so live to fight another day. People are all very tense, comes of having two big events at the same time.
It has now been confirmed that I am guiding journalists all day tomorrow, dinner tomorrow night, all day Saturday and dinner Saturday night. I'm trying to get out of taking them to lunch on Sunday....enough already!
I am so sorry to have to bow out at this late notice, was looking forward to a good catch up and relax - but it can't be helped. Have a wonderful time!
If anyone's interested, our Head of Music, Claire Mera-Nelson, is being interviewed live by Radio 3 at 1pm on Saturday - but I'm sure you have much more interesting things to do
And OMG caught not one but TWO mice today brought in by Lady Orbit - doesn't get any easier no matters how many times I do it!
