Delegates at the BCSC shopping centre management conference in Edinburgh raised over £5,000 for the British Dyslexia Association through the black-tie dinner held in the Edinburgh Royal Museum.
The excellent spoof H&S inspector, who interrupted various speakers and sessions with nonsensical, if all too believable, situations that just might occur in any shopping centre. During one of his many rushes on to the stage, he shouted: "One man's spilled latte is another man's chemical spillage."
And humour was mixed with a serious message by Clive Davis of the South Somerset Disability Association. He said that even a simple operation like laying a carpet in a shopping centre could cause problems for those in wheelchairs. Unless thought is given to the direction of the nap, a wheelchair could be diverted seriously off course.
