Snubbing of Professor Green in Ealing

The snubbing of Professor Green - the rap star - in an Ealing shop because of his tattoos does not surprise me. There is an attitude prevalent in Ealing shops, restaurants, cafes and in South Ealing's pubs that unless you are dressed in clothes from Marks and Spencers you are not worth serving. Ealing's businesses are encountering "an apocalypse of their own creation" as they fail to realise that the customer is king!

Absolutely right, you can't line your waste bin with a forum (my prime use for The Gazette).

Thanks George but I won't bother.I am still feeling queazy from reading his song lyrics,if I can dignify them by calling them by that name.

KeithThis is the link to the Gazette story. http://ealing.ealinggazette.co.uk/2012/11/ealing-shopkeepers-say-they-di.htmlAll very dreary but unless you are out of Borough, which I  now think you said you are, then I get a free copy through the letter box every week.

I miss the good old local newspapers - social internet local forums aint a substitute for them imo.

I'm with Keith: never heard of him and don't buy the Gazette.BTW, what's happened to all the local free sheets that we used to get sporadically?

I'm with your dad on this one Keith,it seems he went into Bang & Olufsens and didn't get his genius recognised (we've all been there,daily in my case).   Had a look at his tweets,couldn't understand anything other than a couple of swear words.So prolly bst fogtn.

Out of idle curiosity I have just looked at this bloke's excuse for song lyrics.Now my mind has stopped boggling,I can only assume he will treat his followers to more teenage angst style doggerel with this event(or non event)at its centre....I can't wait to not hear it.As my old Dad would have said..'Bloody ya ya rubbish..!'

I don't buy it and I have never heard of him.All shops reserve the right to refuse to serve whosoever they please.They must be doing pretty well to refuse customn tho'.

I assume from comments that there is a story somewhere about this.Where can I read it?

Keith Iddon ● 4885d

I think the shop's owners were quite clear that this did not happen. So what 'hard evidence' do you have that it did save for reports of Tweets that it did?

Nigel Brooks ● 4885d

Tut, KeithIt was Professor Plum or the Reverend Mr Green.But I share some of your older recollections and so wonder what JAF means by an "apocalypse of their own creation".I wonder if JAF was in the shop when the incident happened.

Who?Parsons Green, Camberwick Green and Hughie Green I've heard of but Professor Green?That might be a made up name, don't think he's a real Professor at all.  He just chose that to make himself sound clever.

Isn't he a character in Cluedo?
