Whichpratt decided to change the name of our beloved Norfolk Broads ??

Question

Some brain-dead jobsworth has decided to rename Norfolk Broads because it doesn't generate as big a profit as it used to. Has no one advised him there is a recession on at the moment, therefore money is tight, banks are stingier, and staying alive, housed and fed is more important than blowing a months wages on unaffordable holiday breaks, whatever name is given to it?.
 He would be better advised to either open his eyes, or book early for a place in the nearest asylum, or job centre, as he is showing advanced signs of dementure. The person in question must be so out of touch with normality and reality, it defies belief that someone would actually employ such an idiot!, other than another idiot. Sadly there are plenty of both to go around nowadays, usually grossly overpaid,over pensioned, and totally useless to anyone. Come on Cameron you promised us, no more tosspots to be allowed to inflict their fantasies on us any more. You took my vote, now show some payback in appreciation.

I may be American, but I have friends in low places (as Garth Brooks would say).

     My friend is a director at a marketing company that partners a number of Norfolk boatyards and member of the Broads Tourism Forum. While he himself disagreed on the "slogan" he agreed a new logo and updated image might improve things a bit.

     It is by the way, NOT a change of name... It is a change in the branding or logo. The Norfolk Broads will always be the Norfolk Broads... only soon, you will see all your fish & chips money going to pay for new signs and advertising that will read:  
                                   “The Norfolk Broads... Britain's Magical Waterland"

     So, take it from me, the Yank from across the pond with close ties to the brain-dead jobsworth. 
It is not a name change. It is new logos, with a "tag line" that reads "Britain’s Magical Waterland’.

      So, don't get too bent out of shape about it... Things could have been much worse for you.  For example: We could have renamed our beloved Florida Everglades something stupid - and you could have had Obama.

Happy & Safe Boating,
John

I think the jobsworth that decided to rename an amazing place, by giving it a name that means very little to anyone is an idiot.The Norfolk Broads are the norfolk broads and every one should be proud of that. There should be some place where we can all place an objection and make sure that we are heard.

Try raising the issue with your local MP's given most of the people who would possibly be going to holiday there, would with a name change more likely than not be unable to find out any relative info.
Unfortunately in this country now we are over run with 'jobswerth' (!) and unless  we all get vocal about stuff like this it's only a matter of time before we finish up living in  Not so Great Britain!

How would I ever find my way to my boat if the name of the Norfolk Broads changed?   Perhaps I could ask Harry Potter.
