For further information text REDUNDANT

I was handed this leaflet in the street earlier in the week:

What I really like is the sentence in bold: "For further information text REDUNDANT to 60777". Talk about salt in the wound!

Why not ask people to text in something more positive such as 'TRAINING' or 'SKILLS'?

Numeracy and literacy is...

So this is the last photo post before I return from holiday. Tomorrow it's back to the opinionated ramblings and bizarre product reviews!

Anyway, I took this snap in Sutton, rather furtively in case the nice men promoting the courses took exception.



"Numeracy and literacy is..."? Is that the sort of numeracy that enables you to count the number of subjects in a clause, and the sort of literacy that enables you to achieve subject-verb agreement?

Well, it made me laugh.

BA: You can't smell a city from a plane

I took this shot with my cameraphone on full zoom, so apologies for the shoddy picture quality.

Anyway... does anyone else think this British Airways advert is bizarre? Granted, you may not be able to smell a city from a coach, but you certainly can't smell one from a plane.




Oh, someone on Flickr has had the same thought - and taken a better picture too. Never mind.
