“Online customer support will indeed very soon become a ‘table stake’. Thus to distinguish oneself from competition, one should take the quality of the customer service to a higher level.

[...] “One of the key problems for a book like this, in a fast changing world, is the danger it becomes out of date and irrelevant when it is finally published. In the case of Brand Anarchy, Earl and Waddington have future proofed the content, by not merely focussing on what is happening now, but, in addition, extrapolating and analysing major industry trends, past and present, to illustrate, for the reader, a theoretical future.” Peter Hay [...]

Comment on Review: Picasso and Modern British Art (Tate Britain) by Peter Hay

- Michael, thank you for your kind words, really appreciate them and your taking the time to read my blog. I had, indeed, heard that quote before. I believe it was the writer G.K. Chesterton and was mentioned somewhere in the exhibition notes, I think. Another case of feeling embarrassed by the fact that the Brits just didn’t understand Picasso.

- Alyson, a true shame that ‘Guernica’ wasn’t there in its ‘real’ form and at full scale. One would imagine that the Museo del Prado might rely on that particular show-piece as part of the main collection. Thank you for your kind words!

What a great read and written with such authority. Strange how ‘Guernica’, such a pivotal piece, was not present. Looking forward to visiting the exhibition though and having a little Picasso magic rub off on me.

Great analysis! Unfortunately, I live across the pond so I’ll have to miss this show. I heard an interesting tale that Picasso was initially headed to London instead of Paris only to be discouraged by the London scene, his early work being described as “a piece of paper on which Mr. Picasso has had the misfortune to upset the ink and tried to dry it with his boots.”

Thanks for reading and commenting, Ross!

The Sands End and it’s PR agency are aware of the post but, oddly, have chosen not to respond.

Strange way to handle the pub’s communications by Gerber PR, especially when the agency demonstrated such a promising start, as outlined in the post.

Excellent blog – and well done for writing it. I’ve lost count of then number of times I’ve been hacked off with a place and then lost the will to write anything. You should print out the blog, comments and then mail it to the pub. I for one will avoid this place.
