I saw this in Building Connect and it made me smile:
'Gary Sharpps, MP
If shadow housing minister Grant Shapps was trying to make an impression on the green building sector, he could have done better than getting the name of its most powerful operator wrong. Throughout his address to Building’s Making Sustainable Development Happen conference, he referred to UK Green Building Council chief executive, Paul King (with whom he has shared a platform several times) as “John”; cue the sound of
500 sets of toes curling within sandals throughout the hall.
nd despite the moderator, shadow energy minister Greg Clark, clearly addressing King by his real first name later on in the event, Shapps didn’t learn from his error: seeing King’s PR guy, John Alker, backstage, he asked him: “Where’s the other John?”'
Is there any hope for us, I ask?
