'An Overpriced Exrement Factory'
I am delighted that some readers have begun to email Gordon Ramsay at info@gordonramsay.com to register their concern over him ruining The Warrington by turning it into a ghastly gastropub. Below is a missive one reader sent to him on the basis that: ‘…he seems to be such a hard-ass that a softer approach may get his attention.’
‘Dear Mr. Ramsay,
I see that you've bought The Warrington and have plans to change it radically. I urge you to please reconsider. This pub is just gorgeous as is and any major updating would be a tragic mistake to not only the regulars and visitors, but future generations.
I'm sure that with your experience and creativity you can think of ways to improve the pub without losing any of its uniqueness.
I urge you to reconsider. Thank you.’
Another reader tried a somewhat more aggressive approach, writing:
‘To the well-known prick called Gordon Ramsay,
Your plans to ruin The Warrington by turning it into an overpriced excrement factory will not go unopposed. You might revel in being a hate figure now, but the karmic price for gutting the soul of this fine place is one you will regret more than wasting £5.2 million on a self-induced curse.’
Whilst I urge all readers to send a protest email, I think the first approach might be a more productive template than a series of veiled magical threats. If Gordon Ramsay or anyone working for him actually has any idea what including the word 'Bizango' in an email actually relates to, the future of The Warrington is even more screwed than I have already imagined.

It has been my experience that a pain in the wallet is worth 10 pains in the ass. I suggest something that might hurt monetarily. I boycott his TV show on BBC America, but am powerless to hurt him financially in other ways. Perhaps those of you who can - and know others who can - will vote with your feet.

I doubt you're referring to the writers' workshop website.
Could that mean your particular reference to the term in email implies that there is some sort of electronic cult of Caplatas and Bokors who are so evil that they may even be responsible for the ascendancy of Ramsay's empire? And, more importantly, do you know where I can sign up? *evil grin*
Luddites the lot of you ;0)only kidding. It's not just him all restaurateurs seem to be the same!
Did you stop blogging, David?
I hate to hear anytime old landmarks are Disney-fied. I consider it an affront even more shameful than giant fiberglass Jesus statues and colorizing classic vintage movies.
