40 years ago when I started first year of OND Business studies and Economics A level..

A simple crucial mantra of capitalism that was drilled into us from day one was..

"The customer is King / sovereign; the customer is always right"

Of course, that was at the same time as shops and cafes in Glastonbury
openly displayed signs on their doors

"No Hippies"...

Then there were the early 1980s reports in a certain south west local newspaper

As near word for word as best as I can remember...

"Sand dunes invaded by homosexuals of the worst kind"


How much progress and enlightenment since then...???
