MARTIN HATCHUEL IS NUMBER ONE ON MEN'S SWEARY WALL OF SHAME

Dear Sweary Females,

Martin Hatchuel's BIG JOKE

My apologies to you all. When I started this for Women,  
Sweary Women's Wall of Shame

I said that I had yet to come across
any South African men using the 
same kind of vulgar language.

          Well I now have to eat my words by starting a Sweary Men’s Wall of Shame.

          The person who prompted me to do this is none other than a freelance journalist who at the age of 59 should know better, especially as he lists as his clients various tourist organisations; hotels; lodges and even the Cango Caves on South Africa’s scenic Garden Route

          I’m sure they would be delighted to learn that Knysna based Martin Hatchuel has such a picturesque vocabulary at his command that he has just become NUMBER ONE on my new Wall.

          His Apple iPhone6 set him on a Twitter tirade of filth with blasphemy thrown in for a bit of variety.

          Then when I came into the picture warning him that I was thinking of starting a Sweary Wall of Shame for Men similar to the one I have for women, he replied with the same kind of vulgar language that had up to that stage only been applied to Apple.  

          
          Here’s Martin at his Sweary Best.

         
            It couldn't be could it that Martin's technology had failed rather than Apple's?

       
          This is what Martin tells us about himself. "Could anyone be better suited to writing about tourism?" he asks. With his colourful language he seems perfect for the job.
          What's more he claims to have once written a "po-faced paper" called "Managing Perceptions: The Care and Feeding of the Media," which he delivered at a Tourism Law and Management seminar.
          What kind of perception does he think his free use of four-letter words on Twitter creates. It makes him out to be a guttersnipe type character.

          Do you want somebody like this promoting tourism in your area?
          Anyway this is what happened when I came on the scene.

CHARMING

BELOW IS A LIST OF SOME OF HIS CLIENTS.
I WONDER IF THEY KNOW THEY ARE IN
SUCH GOOD COMPANY?

             *Apart from Martin's foul language his Client list (above) on his 'This tourism week' blog is suspect. I contacted a small sample and this was the result: Peter Wallington Chairman of

Plettenberg Bay Tourism said Martin had not worked for them for the last two years. He refused to comment on Martin's foul language or to say whether or not his organisation was happy to be listed as one of Martin's clients. Wallington is a former journalist so perhaps this accounted for his reluctance to discuss the activities of another one.
         Esther de Villiers Editor of  CXPRESS, a free Garden Route community paper said Martin should not have her paper on his client list as he "last wrote a column for us many, many moons ago." She added that social media left her "rather cold" particularly because of the "forum it creates for users of all manner of sub-standard language."
             Here is another of Martin's attention seeking rough comments from Twitter.

         And finally he sums up his own behavior perfectly with this Tweet.

        Regards,
        Jon, Chairman of the Keep Twitter Clean Society 
        (For those who don't know the test is whether 
        you would use the same language in front of
        people you do business with; your employer; 
        your wife, if you have one and small children).
