MARR: But we're standing here getting wet, so surely - even by your own definition - it’s raining - & why are you holding an umbrella?
@MattHancock: I'm holding an umbrella to keep the bloody rain off me.
MARR: I see.
A fortnight after @AndrewMarr9 had failed to comprehend my criticism of his @MattHancock interview & had insulted me on @Twitter, I was in a pub & he & his wife sat nearby me
My friend said I should say something to him
I let him eat his supper in peace.
“Why didn’t you say anything to him?” my friend asked as we left the pub. “You could have dropped a zinger on our way out”
The reason was that I respect @AndrewMarr9’s personal space even though - by insulting me publicly on Twitter - he had not respected mine #Marr#AndrewMarr
