Dear All
I think I need to throw light on my coming in on this discussion all guns blazing…. I turned out, quite justifiably I believe, to have been a major party-pooper around the opening of the Lion Corner restaurant. When, in an earlier post in this thread, I let rip about “…YOUR SORT” as in: WE HAVE WAY TOOOO MANY OF *YOUR SORT* IN OBSERVATORY ALREADY !!!! the two operative words there were – unfortunately – very open to hurtful misinterpretation. When I used the words *YOUR SORT* I was referring to the number of liquor licence holders in Obs. I was not referring to gay people. Had I been sounding off about gay folk, my salvo would, very appro- priately, also have been aimed at myself ! I have apologized unreservedly to Gert and have wished him well for their opening tonight. Thank you for receiving me so hospitably, Gert, given the regrettable circumstances around our meeting. I am sorry I caused hurt. That said, my feelings and convictions around the number of liquor licence holders in Obs still hold and I explained this as well to Gert, who was able to hear it without throwing me bodily out of his restaurant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
