Diss mayor in demand in America
Diss mayor Jane Trippett-Jones has been making it big in the States.
She has received praise from across the pond for her business-minded approach to the opening of a new tattoo parlour in the town.
The plaudits came on an American internet site which detailed a story about the mayor of Columbus, Nebraska, who had told the owner of a new tattoo shop in his town that he and other businesses in the building “didn’t want him or his rif-raf clientele” there.
After a public outburst, the mayor was forced into an apology, but his behaviour led to comparisons with that of Ms Trippett-Jones who recently officiated at the opening ceremony of Bliss, Diss’ newest tattoo shop.
One contributor to the website commented: “Cheers to Mayor Jane Trippett-Jones, would love to see more like her in the US”.
Bliss Tattoo Studio also added its own comment: “The Mayor was brilliant, stayed at the studio for two hours and even wrote a press release for us.”
Ms Trippett-Jones, who coincidentally was enjoying a family visit to America when the comments were posted on the net, said on her return to Diss this week: “It was a strange irony coming back from the USA to see myself noted on a US website, doing my bit to promote Diss!”
