I was up early to go and introduce myself to the new guv’nor of The Old General, having arranged to meet my dad to have a drink there if they had opened up. There was nobody there, although there were signs of life. Luckily, I had thought ahead. I had in my pocket a nicely written (hand written to boot!) letter welcoming him/her to the Hyson Green area. I outlined the history of the statue being dressed as Santa at Christmas, although he/she should already know that, as I like to think it is in the paperwork when you take over the establishment. I enclosed my address, phone number and main email address so I await a response expectantly.
If I have not heard back by the end of the week, I will continue to harangue them until the statue is dressed up Santa style.
