How brilliant of Colin Darch to see the funny side.

As a WI president I have to say they did not do their research very well! Either that or his 'blurb' did not explain the talk well enough!

What an embarrassment!

Yes, nanaej - it is emarrassing, and does show a lack of research. I do feel sorry for them, and their comments about what they usually do doesn't help the image of the WI either. I have a huge respect for the WI, but oh dear...

I'm surprised the Noth Devon Journal used such a phrase as "once this had been gotten over..." confused

I'd be more offended at the reference to "blue rinses" if I'd been involved! Can't see many in the picture ...

Nothing would surprise me about the North Devon Journal!
