Beales and Shop Closures....

The Tonbridge reporter at the Courier has been on to me about my TonbridgeBlog post regarding Beales. You may recall that someone claiming to be the Chief Executive Officer of the department store chain posted a comment below the article on Tonbridge shop closures recently. (Scroll down to view.) He wanted to set the record straight that, after a group strategic review, Beales in Tonbridge is definitely staying open for the forseeable future. Let's hope that means at least another ten years. Shams, at the KSC, being more thorough than me and indeed a proper journalist, unlike T Blog, has checked this out and verified that it was indeed the man himself who left the comment having seen it pop up on his Google alerts. (Now there's a true professional for you!) The local paper is to run a story on the subject with quotes from him and yours truely this Friday. I can hardly wait!...

That's journalism, lazy journalism but journalism all the same.
