Distorting ‘wench’

Dec 28, 2012 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
It is unfortunate that the English language is replete with numerous instances where words have multiple definitions. We had chosen the term “wench” to mean serving woman in its archaic form – to emphasise the traditional aspect of the pub. The press release made clear that the pub will be a family-friendly establishment. That would not be possible in one that in any way created a misogynistic atmosphere.
Nonetheless, we are sensitive to the concerns of the letter’s author and wish to express our regret that the press release could have been interpreted in such a negative light. The conduct of the establishment will speak for itself and a complementary pint will be on offer to the author while they determine the truth of this assurance for themselves once we’re open for business.
 Sincerely,
Avinash Persaud
Director BPG
