When Lawrie changed them from gold to white I asked him why that was done, and noted how hard Robbie Middleby worked to get us the gold. Lawrie's response was he had "positive feedback" about the change. He didn't go further into what that feedback was, from whom, etc. I personally had not seen any consultation on the matter before the change.
OK
To be honest I did fall asleep towards the end of your post
The Gypo CEOs only role of note is to provide us with said hats
Questions about the rest of this diabolic club in this basket case league are just like pissing into a game force breeze and not expecting splashback
It should be the 1st and only thing in your post
Lets just focus on getting the hats looking good and having a good time before this shit show folds
