Bribing journalists

Hi, I’m the voice of sanity for the Muddler’s empire…. in other words the person who says you can’t possibly do that (but the two of them go ahead and do it any way) and the person who says why aren’t you doing this (and if I’m lucky they might consider doing it).

I’ve spent my lifetime advising others how to run their businesses and started a couple of my own which have been moderately successful, but I have never before been involved with the drinks industry. Having known Rupert for nigh on 30 years (that tells you how old he is!) and Henry for around a dozen years I should have guessed that when they wanted to set up a business together they would go for something that involved alcohol, albeit it is not all bad as it contains pure fruit as well.

The big issue for the boys is getting the word spread around about what a wonderfully refreshing drink the Muddler Cocktail is and why doesn’t your local pub/bar/restaurant stock it. If anybody, who reads this, is bold enough to pass on to me (or the boys) the name of a top line journalist (or in fact any journalist) who writes up a piece about Muddlers and/or any contacts in the drinks trade who suddenly order a dozen cases of the pure fruit flavoured alcohol then I, personally, will reward them splendidly. What this means in reality is they could get to meet me (a scary thought for all concerned!) and receive, at least, a case of Muddlers, which I will buy with real cash (or QC as some of us, down the market, call it) from Rupert & Henry. Email the boys or me at malcolm@kimbersjessop.com with your contact names.

It is very important to me that Muddlers is the fantastic success that it deserves to be, if for no other reason than, what with the pension crisis of the past decade or so, I am relying on Rupert to keep me in my old age in the manner to which I wish to become accustomed.

Here ends my first ever blog entry; does this mean I’ve time travelled and become a member of the younger generation again (I can dream can’t I)?

All the best.

Malcolm

PS. In certain circles QC stands for…….. “Queens Currency” (i.e. cash not disclosed to the Inland Revenue).
