Tropicana TV Advert

Can someone tell me the sense in having an advert that says that your product, in this case orange juice is New York’s favourite and then offering a promo/competition to visit one of 30 European cities?

Seems stupid to me.

Horse Dung - a load of old cr*p

For years we have been plagued in the city with commercial enterprises leaving excrement in the city centre.

What I am talking about are the horse drawn carriages that carry people on sightseeing tours of the city.

Other cities - usually cosmopolitan ones - that York is aiming to become like - have horse drawn carriages and they don’t have this problem as the horses have collection devices - usually a sack.

It is about time that the council did something about this.

It’s goodbye to the human touch

So the council want to remove the human touch from their call centre.

Well apart from the fact that some people - particularly the older or less educated find these systems bad to use - just the people who really need to speak to the council - don’t they realise that there is the beginning of a backlash against such computerised systems in the country.

Obviously not.

Another step in the wrong direction.
