Anyone see Victoria Square featured in one of the adverts? I thought it had been given the chop?

Posted by: JeffG Mar 19 2011, 10:38 AM

What adverts are those?

Posted by: spartacus Mar 19 2011, 11:00 AM

Who is Victoria Square? Never heard of her and wouldn't recognise her even if she did appear in an advert.........

There are those that say so is Richard.

Posted by: NWNREADER Mar 19 2011, 04:44 PM

You think so? Surely not.......
No, I really cannot believe that to be the case.

And we know for a fact that WBC and one of their employees are the masters at being economical with the truth don't we? wink.gif

Posted by: NWNREADER Mar 19 2011, 06:16 PM

Well, at least I am clear about my opinion.....

Sssshhh!. We wouldn't want Standard Life to fall foul of the http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1991/29/section/1 would we?

If we keep it quiet, I reckon no one will notice and ring up WBC Trading Standards to investigate any...er...misleading statements/images.

Why are you posting this sort of wind up material at 03:41 AM on a Sunday morning?

Some of us has to post whenever we can find the time? Unlike some who seem to be able to post even whilst supposedly working? wink.gif

I know this is somewhat off topic, but is there a reason that you end pretty much all of your sentences - questions or otherwise - with a question mark?

Posted by: Turin Machine Mar 21 2011, 07:41 PM

Why ? does it bother you ?

Back on topic, does anyone else find the Parkway branding rather dull? I can't even remember what the accompanying slogan is. Contemporary living? Country comes to town?

Soooo, I suggest some new ad campaigns that might replace this one (when the SLI chiefs fess up and axe it).

Park Way - are you thinking what we're sinking?
Park Way - we've never clad it so good
Park Way - for cool people who don't like squares

Any more?

No, but they could have named one of the blocks of flats "Pavilion View" tongue.gif

Posted by: Bofem Mar 24 2011, 01:40 PM

I think I've got it....

Park Way - a cracking development.

Do I win a prize?

Posted by: Turin Machine Mar 25 2011, 11:41 PM

Park Way - Come for the shopping, stay for the Craich

Posted by: Turin Machine Mar 25 2011, 11:45 PM

Welcome to Park Way - Parking ? - No Way !

Park Way - Like Basingstoke but shoddier

Newbury Park Way - Where corruption met greed
