More Royal Wedding ding-dong

More Royal Wedding ding-dong

28 April 2011 by James Hayes

Another example of Royal Wedding-inspired perspicacity from an organisation band-waggoning tomorrow's top-notch hitching. The Forum of Private Business (Ltd, of course) is urging revellers to use the festivities to help their local small businesses through the 'current economic uncertainties' by providing independent traders with a 'much-needed boost' by 'spending their money at privately-owned shops, pubs and restaurants'.
However, the lobby group is anxious to allay any impression that it is calling for consumers to boycott big businesses, says its head of campaigns Jane Bennett: "We're not calling for people to boycott big businesses," she insists.
Never shy of courting controversy, the Forum believes that the 'mood of national celebration surrounding the wedding, coupled with the recent spell of good weather, should create a welcome upsurge in trade for smaller businesses in the tourism, hospitality, leisure, and retail industries'. Not 'will create', mind, but 'should create'.
Bennett adds: "Many small firms in the leisure, retail, and hospitality sectors stand to benefit from the mood of national celebration surrounding the Royal Wedding. They don't need to be anywhere near Westminster Abbey to benefit - people are planning celebrations up and down the UK".
