The adult version
The Adult version specifically adjusted for British Dressage office staff ( wink wink)
I got a call from the BBC , OK ONLY the local station that broadcast for Hereford and Worcester but it is a start.
The person on the other side of the line asked if I am interested in joining a live debate.
My reply was “let me think it over for one second and I will come back to you , YES I am (VERY) interested”
To myself I thought , it is not the Carl and Charlotte TV road show, but it is a start.
“Who else is going to be on it ?” I asked
“We are going to have “ the person on the other side of the line explained “One representative of the Catholic church, two from the Islamic council of GB , American Reformed Jewish Rabi and three people from Jehovah witness congregation “
“I did not know that any of the above had much to do with the sport of dressage “ was my instinctive responds.
The person on the other side of the line replied quickly “ Sorry didn’t I explain this is not a debate about dressage - what is dressage any way ? - this is a serious debate on the moral consequences of sexual abstention in modern society “
My immediate reaction was conveyed to the person on the other side of the line “ WHY ARE YOU INCLUDING ME IN SUCH A DEBATE I am an ordinary riding instructor WHAT THE F,,, ,,,, I know about ABSTENTATION and that sort of things I am not qualified for an opinion about that.”
“You are a member of British Dressage aren’t you Sir?”
“YESS I AM “ I replied
“We think that you are fully QUALIFIED for this debate “ said the person on the other side of the line.
