I'm still following just for fun but don't think he's posted in a while.<br /><br />Part of me still wants to believe it WAS him, and his PR said it wasn't to save face.

But then I started rationalizing it and thought, "Well, I can spell (most of the time) and I know my prepositions but I can't cook so maybe Heston's got it the other way around."<br /><br />Hopefully someone within Heston's organization will see your post and comments and get this bozo to cease and desist.Kristahttp://www.londonelicious.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-28967619697338974222009-08-17T16:20:47.587+00:002009-08-17T16:20:47.587+00:00Ben: Sorry mate - but no room for everyone and I h...Ben: Sorry mate - but no room for everyone and I had to prioritise those people who are as at least as addicted to Twitter as me :)<br /><br />@ianashworth/eatmynels/catty/Helen T: Yes I hope Twitter really do get their act together soon.

In light of his more recent, reputation damaging comments, I would hope that someone with authority to act does so soon to end this issue.@ianashworthhttp://twitter.com/ianashworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-16682502112827647272009-08-17T15:20:21.648+00:002009-08-17T15:20:21.648+00:00nice one chris!

Was thrilled to find out it truly wasn't him, and unfollowing quickly followed. From a celebs point of view though, why can't Twitter act more quickly? I am not clear on the laws on defamation etc, but surely posing unsavoury commentary as being the word of someone you're not must be (potentially) damaging and therefore possibly open to legal action by the "real" person. Lets hope the real Heston stops by soon, and is not put off doing so by this imposter.Helen Thttp://thefoodiegifthunter.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-61040958233457876732009-08-17T15:01:43.295+00:002009-08-17T15:01:43.295+00:00Good post!
