Introducing......Miss Harriet Fox!

Let me proudly introduce to you Miss Harriet Fox a true English rose, Escort to discerning Gentlemen everywhere......

Ok ok so it's just me....... I've finally chosen a name, thank you to all my lovely gents who contributed their tuppence ha'penny worth. What a slog it's been changing everything and I still don't think I've covered everywhere yet! I have bought Harrietfox.com but am still running on Honeypuss.co.uk until I work out how to switch over easily but have changed the banner and text and of course what to do about my blogspot? Do I change or stay as I am hmmmm something else to ponder over and fill my already brusting head with.

So now you can call me Harriet, Harry, Hattie, H or still Honey if you prefer after all it is a term of endearment.

I've had compliments already saying that this typically English name suits me down to the ground with my 'posh' voice and manners, I think they're all mad of course because I am still just plain little old me!

Chivalry is alive and well in London!

hello
So today as you may have noticed I'm in London with the lovely Charlotte Dean.

I left home yesterday with plenty of time to spare, time which I used up trying to find somewhere to park near the station as Ramsgate station only allows daily or weekly tickets not 2 days or 3!

So I huffed up the hill lugging suitcase and was so out of breath I alomost couldn't order my ticket at the booth!

Arrived on the platform with moments to spare. I love the new fast service to St Pancras clean trains, short journey times and a LOVELY ticket inspector/guard who offered to give me directions for my onward journey. What a lovely man, if you ever read this you made my journey, thank you.

On arrival I trolled over to the bus stop, and within seconds a number 91 arrived, my luck was in, or was it? The driver told me he was terminating at Euston 'sounds painful' says I, which meant nothing to me, 'I need to get to Russell Square' I said fluttering my usually engaging eyelashes. 'you need the 56' he grunted back throwing the bus into gear.

I got off and stood dejected by the side of the road, next to me was a tall distinguished older gentleman who had heard me say I needed to get to Russell Square. He told me to stick with him as that's where he lives but he'd been waiting for 20 minutes for a number 56 with no luck. Another lady also needing Russell Square asked me what number the driver said and we stood like 3 lemons waiting for the ghost bus!

Another 15 minutes went by and my lovely knight in shining armour said 'Right ladies follow me' and led the way on what turned out to be only a 10 minute walk. As we passed his house he said 'if you girls weren't in such a hurry I'd invite you in for coffee'. If you ever read this mysterious good samaritan I'd have loved to take you up on your offer but had a client waiting at the hotel with Charlotte already.

So to my 2 chivalrous gents of the day, a big kiss and Thank You X

Take that ticket touts!

So they're back together with Robbie Williams and embarking on a sell out tour, music to the ears of fans old and new alike? Or music to the ears of ticket touts up and down the country? After listening to many of my friends who took time off of work on Friday to book tickets and spent hours on the phone and Internet only to be disappointed I think it is the latter!

With Progress Live 2011 selling over 1.34million tickets in 24 hours many of those appearing on eBay withing hours at hugely inflated prices. A £55 ticket up for £300 buy it now, free postage and packing mind what a bargain I'll take six!

If I had loving, loyal fans and was arranging a concert I would be rather pissed off if they couldn't afford to see me because of some greedy touts. I would be working hard performing, recording and promoting and I wouldn't be happy to be doing all this to line the pockets of these lazy buggers!

How about a new way of selling tickets along the lines of other industries such as flights or hotels?

Tier 1 £55 - Advance purchase ticket with names printed on them and people have to show i.d. when attending the venue. No refund no changes.

Tier 2 £100 - Advance purchase Named ticket holder's guests. Main ticket holder has tier 1 ticket with linked tier 2 tickets with guest on so if you want to go but haven't found someone to go with yet this is the ticket tier for you. Tier 2 tickets must be presented at the entrance with the main named ticket holder.

Finally Tier 3 - £300 open tickets which can be freely exchanged.

A system along these lines would surely offer the true fans the best way of obtaining tickets. Just one of the things I'd change if I ruled the world ;0)
