I had a meeting today with a very nice officer at the County
Council called John Lewis. Being a great
enthusiast for the Oxford Street store of the same name, I find John’s name
very easy to remember. Sadly this is not the case with all of the officers I
meet from day to day.
It then occurred to me that in addition to John Lewis, the
Community Safety Manager at Babergh and Mid Suffolk is called Peta Jones….reminiscent
of another branch of the same group.
I happened to mention this recently to another council
employee. He told me that ‘John Lewis’
also happens to be the nickname of one of his colleagues (whose real name,
under the circumstances, had better remain a secret).
On enquiring why I was told that the officer in question is ‘never
knowingly understood!’
