Never known as a man to have the proper respect for his superiors, UTC was fair tickled recently to see Snappy Shopper co-founder Scott Campbell making a mug of SLR editor Antony Begley – quite literally.
Scott is the man in the pic. Why does it say “It appears Scott was absolutely right” on his mug, you ask? Well, keen readers of SLR’s digital title The Week In Retail will recognise the line from a comment piece that Antony wrote on Snappy Shopper. The gist was that, several years ago, Scott and Antony had a conversation where Scott enthused about home delivery was a ground-breaking idea that had a massive future in convenience retailing – and Antony was less convinced.
UTC gleefully pointed out that it wasn’t the first time that his editor had gotten something horribly wrong, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.
Scott assures us that “his team mate the mug for him”. We, on the other hand, have our doubts about that…
