It's still the talk of Waitrose coffee shops up and down the land so I hear. It was the biggest topic of conversation from our European customers, suppliers, collaborators last week in London at our trade show - all bemoaning the difficulty they now have dealing with us as a UK company. It really is the gift that keeps giving isn't it. Still, blue passports for the morons so they're happy Isn't sinking trade a bonus in your line of work Benners?

I seem to remember that did cause quite a bit of grief at the time as it was felt to be too much of a reference to our cholesterol ridden, skirt wearing cousins north of the border. As per my England kit comments above, our national kits always look better with more red, less blue.

You're correct about how ridiculous things take huge importance in modern life though Benners. As if they haven't got better things to be doing I see the police are now investigating if a crime has been committed when someone said that the comments of the permanently befuddled Diane Abbott made them want to hate all black women!

I think you're missing a very key part of the comment there though aren't you... The bit about wanting her shot... That's hate speech and we've seen two MPs killed and others attempted in recent years... Regardless of political view the comments are dangerous in the current climate

The design marketeers have hit gold, 3 pages on this site alone discussing/venting about something that really is not very important - and if it’s 3 pages from us, imagine how many millions of Xs/tweets they’ve achieved!!
I have a great slide in a media presentation I deliver that details the number of things done online every minute of every day, the one that everyone always remembers - 1.1 million Tinder swipes!!
I had one brilliant observer comment ‘F**kinghell, about half of those are me’ 🤣🤣!!

I do like Nike, they piss off all the right people. I remember them causing a fuss a year or two ago also when people were upset about them representing all types of people in their marketing. These multinational sweatshop owners are so woke
