Madrigals in the cafe

Madrigals in the cafe

Dear Sir,

Last Thursday lunchtime, I and some friends were sitting in the downstairs cafe when a group of students entered and began singing some strange but not unpleasant songs. Then they were rudely interrupted by an officious woman, whom I overheard telling them to bugger off, which they did. Why did they leave? They were causing no obstruction, but merely providing pleasant entertainment. Who was this pushy creature?

Yours sincerely

Sue Bennett.

[Enquiries indicate that the pushy woman was Ms Lindsay ]. Red, Deputy Managing Secretary of this building. When I asked her why she had kicked the madrigal singers out, she told me it was "none of my business." "I'm not going to have to justify myself to you, "she said "It is not permitted for such things to happen unless it is organised. "When I suggested to her that such an officious, bureaucratic attitude was defeating the purpose of the Union, a screaming fit began, and I took my leave.—Ed.]
