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

What adverts are those?

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

Is she a shorter fatter younger sister of Victoria Beckham?

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?

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?
Posted by: Turin Machine Mar 20 2011, 09:20 PM

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"
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?

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
