Leggings 0n Norwich's radio host... out and about in the mall.

Leggings 0n Norwich's radio host... out and about in the mall.

 

 

I got to tell you all about the radio host who goes out and about making small presentations for radio shows. Radio Norfolk if that is what she represents is to be congratulated on her performance. She is a wonder, a young lady with obvious difficulties in thinking, who faces straight on and goes out to talk to people in the street.

 

Earlier today I passed by the giving box in the mall, it was perhaps 2 layers in gifts, which was nice, and she was about making her presence felt. She was thrown a bit by instructions at first and came out with, “I don't think...” which of course she can't do often, and then went onto a more critical examination of the generosity of Norwich. Of course all of us who learnt to think, know about giving.... lt's a free act, that of a free person who knows that the control is theirs. Giving is a gift in itself.

 

According to her, someone had given the wrong thing! Horror! How could they? Things she was told were so bad out there that everything is needed, and wanted... Which kind of shut down her show. I can feel for her, its going to be so hard to find another job, one in which, thinking is optional.

 

Norwich is not a terrible hateful place, within it there are many kinds of people. Lots of them have never known hardship or poverty. Yet there is no automatic right for one person to be 'better' than another person.

It is within our rights to help each other out a little without questions being asked, or comments being made.

 

Some passer-by told her shortly, “We'd all give if we thought we could get away with it, without you lot coming round to have a go at us!”

The girl stepped back. Her face a patch of disaster. “We don't...” she started, yet the passer-by had gone.

 

Norwich is a free city, people can choose for themselves without fearing repercussions from anyone, and if they do, or if they do hear them, they should go to the police. People have a right to live without fear....

 

Does this young lady have to produce a show that so interesting – that it has to be vindictive or rude? Is this the way that she stays employed? If so, she has become a slave person – a slave to a system gone rotten.

 

Lets all be free in our thinking – give if you wish, don't if you don't care too. Don't be afraid.... this isn't the city of the big bad wolf yet, that comes later on in the deep cold...

Maisie, I have never lived in Norwich  or listened to the radio show. I need you to give me information, perhaps some reported speech, a brief excerpt. Sounds like there could be more than one side to this. However I feel for the ex-presenter when the person had a go at her in the mall.

You could also pencil in the mall a little. Although IMO  'show not tell' is often an over-used truism, a tiny bit of detail would work wonders. Is the mall all indoors or is is partly built on the old city centre. Perhaps she was outside Boots and the shop had kept a historic frontage. What was the weather like? What colour jacket was she wearing.

Your blog is tantalising. You have drawn the situation, you have got me involved This could become a very good. heartfelt 'slice of life story.'smiley
