JOHN WINSTON LENNON

This day, 35 years ago, marks the passing of English singer
and songwriter and former member of The Beatles, John Lennon.
(Born John Winston Lennon; Oct. 9, 1940 – 8 Dec.19, 80)

John Lennon was an English musician who gained worldwide fame as one of the members of the Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism and pacifism.

He was shot by “a deranged American gunman” (I refuse to use his name) in the archway of the building where he lived, The Dakota, in New York City on 8 December 1980.

Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.

After sustaining four fatal gunshot wounds, Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at Roosevelt Hospital. He was 40 years old.

At the hospital, it was stated that nobody could have lived for more than a few minutes after sustaining such injuries. Shortly after local news stations reported Lennon’s death, crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of the Dakota.

Lennon was cremated on 10 December 1980 at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. The ashes were given to Ono, who chose not to hold a funeral for him.

Retailer aims to roll out “wine ambulance” across the off-trade

An independent retailer is hoping to attract interest from other outlets to buy into his drinks delivery concept called Winebulance which it claims has grown sales by 25% in less than six months.

Andy Short took over The Selsey Off Licence in Sussex at the beginning of the year and added a phone delivery service on drinks using the distinctive Winebulance branded van which features the slogan: “Stay calm! Wine is here!”

Delivery sales now account for 20% of the business and he believes this will reach 50% due to the branding and mix of products and promotions.
He hopes to make the Winebulance a national concept by giving other independents use of the trademarked logo and artwork to brand their own vans.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”’
