Mark Knopfler Discussion Forum / Re: MK on Brexit

You mention the WI which like you say is Women only unlike the Mothers Union which is open to all it appears...
maybe its time for change all round and to make things inclusive and that is what Mssrs Fry and Knopfler want to do with the Garrick Club.

Maybe the Garrick Club can take a leaf out of Marylebone Cricket Club which from 1787 until 1998 was a solely male orientated club. In 1998 Women were allowed as members and by all accounts the MCC is flourishing!

They must have known the rules when they joined and while they used the facilities - what a bunch of virtue signalling hypocrites.  By their measure, groups like the WI will have to let men in and I don't think that's what women want.  By the sound of things it would surely be best for the club if they were booted out and they could all be happy and back to normality again.

I was wondering who is speaking in the beginnning? Is that the father cycling back home from his visit to London?

Yes, that's my idea, too.

That song is my perfect opener for a three-day-residence of MK at the Royal Albert Hall. One can dream, eh? ;-)
Btw, Mr. Gilmour will be there in October.

6 date residence noted for Mr G!
