It seems like a number of you were so convinced about the story I ran yesterday, featuring Marlow’s Mums Against Delinquency and their CCTV equipped pushchairs, that 48 of you clicked the link to find out more about this little wheeze I put together for April Fool’s Day.
Late yesterday I received a telephone call from April Hurst who wanted it known that she knows nothing about CCTV and pushchairs and doesn’t even live in Marlow. In fact, she’s a 72-year-old spinster living in Dunchideock, Devon where she breeds dogs. When I assumed to say to her that she must get really fed up with people using her name on April-the-first she told me in a stern voice that this was the first time it at ever happened and that she was far from amused.
Marlow’s Mums Against Delinquency (MAD) also called to say that they hadn’t been terribly amused either, especially by my flagrant and cavalier attitude to the important work they do and that should I wish to support them in future I should not make things up.
Thames Valley Police politely refused to be drawn, save to say that CCTV images of Mum’s chatting with each other along Marlow High Street or in the hairdressers was not what they had in mind.
So my apologies to MAD, April and the police!
