I never cease to be amazed at the things people spend their money on. I think I would find it a bit hard to sit there in my, 'family pew' over the years knowing that there are children nearby that building who are lucky to get a pot noodle for Christmas Dinner (yes TRUE, I saw it with my own eyes!!!!!) and equally not far away there are poor people who have to queue for free tins of beans and Sugar Puffs because they cannot afford to buy them.
I am not in the least opposed to parents being kind, even spoiling (within reason) their children but this is an exercise in attention seeking. Does anyone remember the Catherine Tate show and the character of the mum who lives in fashionable Pimlico and always feeds her kids the, 'right' kind of organic bread? When I see this story I think of that.
And it's not much of a deal for the Bacon, they'll have four seats that will NEVER catch up with inflation and so will be a considerable loss of revenue to them. Actually, we should all do it and then we'd bring the whole primping and posing edifice down in a blaze of fiscal stupidity. Still the kiddies will be able to grow up on a diet of Peruvian Singing Midgets and local, 'stars' performing songs from the shows.
Happy Sunday!
