So I had mentioned how much I enjoyed the pubs during my
extended time in London in the late 70“s.  And he informed me in the
course of that email conversation that many of the pubs are becoming
franchise chains – not the authentic thing as I recalled.

Images of rubber-stamped lookalike pubs and McDonald’s and
Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken flew through my head, stomping all over
those good memories.  Good God, I
thought, of all the places I had hoped to hold with their tradition, surely
England and the pubs were two of them.

1. Spend all of our time trying to blame anyone but ourselves
2. Spend none of our time actually fixing the process, and
3. Eventually settle on the fact we could blame it on someone else – the Mayans, in this instance, since this is their big calendar year — ummm … and this may all blow over on December 21st.

We were all feeling pretty smug about how we handled this PR opportunity (that’s government / corporate talk for when things are all really #$%$#$ up), but then our PR guy said that Click For More Blame It On The Mayans.
