Dear Editor,
Yes! There is a “popcorn-free” Heaven (and haven) after all!
Wife and I went (along with nearly 150 other civilised-enough-for-live, indoor-music-performance citizens) to a Buddy Holly and Everly Brothers Tribute Show, Tuesday just gone, free of popcorn smells, jaws munching popcorn sounds, popcorn packet crackling, etc., etc.!
Also, no sounds of slurping of drinks, lolly papers, ice-cream cone crunching, bottles and other things thudding to the floor, etc.
The was no inane shouting out, rapturous rounds of applause over bugger-all, or constant high-pitched chattering, the likes of constipated chimpanzees with worms, etc., etc.
Sorry, forgot absolutely no phone noises during performances.
We all had an absolute ball, with loud rounds of genuine applause!
Everybody left with a buzz of excitement and appreciation, chatting happily.
And not a sight, sound, or smell, of popcorn anywhere…absolute bliss!
Yours,
Howard Hutchins
