Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[Laxie]

I'm not sure I was singling out Chuck in particular, (although I did find this paragraph a bit disconcerting)


In the late 1980s, Berry bought a restaurant in Wentzville, Missouri, called The Southern Air,[50] and in 1990 he was sued by several women who claimed that he had installed a video camera in the ladies' bathroom. Berry claimed that he had the camera installed to catch red-handed a worker who was suspected of stealing from the restaurant. Though his guilt was never proven in court, Berry opted for a class action settlement with 59 women. Berry's biographer, Bruce Pegg, estimated that it cost Berry over $1.2 million plus legal fees. It was during this time that he began using Wayne T. Schoeneberg as his legal counsel. Reportedly, a police raid on his house did find videotapes of women using the restroom, and one of the women was a minor.


It just seems that every time I look too closely at one of my heroes, I discover something I would rather not have known.

As it happens, the bit in italics was the icing on my opinionated cake. 

Seems it was the norm and almost acceptable for some to act like complete tossers in the 60's.

Not our cameras no. It's the other Uni in Nottingham that we install cameras for.

hi Tom
I've just been looking at the latest version of the line up for Glastonbury and the New Gypsy, Roma and Travellers Alliance have a spot in the Speakers Forum.
Are they a good representative body?

I should probably also add a grovelling apology for having mistaken another diary for this one and posting the question there first.
Not that either diary is any better than the other, but since the full Sunday name for the event in question is the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts it's probably not a suitable topic for the other thread even if the question didn't have some specific relevance to your good self.

Lol.

I've answered on the other thread Dave. I like to try and broaden his horizons.

My head hurts. Which one am I again and when do we get the guns?

LINK!!  Don't make us actually have to read through his thread.  Too much concrete and too many old trains in the way...

Tom doesn't know the group and wondered exactly who they represent. He also wondered what a New Gypsy was.

I've had a bit of a google and can't find a group with the name given. Curious eh?

Does the 'New' not refer to the Alliance, rather than to the Gypsy?  Which could be why it's not found on Google, as it's very 'new'.

Sounds plausible to me, I think Tom may have had his tongue in his cheek, as in a sense, did I.

Tom's point about representing a lot of potentially disparate groups was fair though.
