Sometimes PRs don't help their own cause.

A news release from a national chain, emailed to me today, includes a paragraph that starts: "Local restaurant Manager, XX (name), said ...."

Either the restaurant manager has got a very strange name or someone somewhere is sending out a string of emails to papers across the country without properly checking their content.

Should vegetarians be allowed to do normal jobs or should they are restricted to their areas of expertise - like knitting open toe sandals from muesli or making faux 18th century smocks to be worn at the sort of festivals that feature lots of musicians with beards (most of them men)?

It was a question that sprang to mind when I received a phone call from a restaurant company's PR who let slip that she was a veggie.

Delightful as she sounded, it struck me that she could not possibly speak authoratively or passionately about a restaurant whose menu, like those of most other restaurants, is dominated by meat.
