There Are Mormons Everywhere!

Everywhere there are adverts for Mormons.

I suppose religious adverts on the buses follow the same rules as films.  The more adverts there are. the worse the religion.

It gives me a bit of a problem in that I don’t travel on a bus advertising something I don’t like or disapprove of. Oxford Circus is also wall-to-wall with the adverts, so that gives me another problem, as that is a difficult station to avoid.

Superb Advertising

I saw this on a lamp post, by the bus stop at the Angel.

People, who have seen it had already torn off some of the tear-off strips of the Man With A Van, so I hope he gets some business.

it’s such a simple, but superb idea.

On A Bus To Oblivion

I was away when Oblivion opened, but it got two stars in The Times and this was the summary of their review.

Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion but that is about all that this derivative sci-fi has to offer

It certainly is appearing on lots of buses, which is always the sign of a dire film.

I suppose that the shape of bus ads makes Tom Cruise look taller.

The Meerkats Drove Me Out

I was going to Millwall to see Ipswich play today, but as ever, I was on the drag.

Then one of those awful meerkat adverts came on the television.

i was through the door like a rat up a drainpipe.

Adverts On The BBC

The only television I watched was BBC World and it was good to see such as Nick Gowing, who I once met on holiday.

However, I was rather fed up with the adverts, for products I weren’t interested in. Although, one was for a mini diabetic meter, much like the device I use to test my INR.  Although it was very small.  It does show the way these devices are going.

I wonder how long before cruise ships such as the Oriana have a digital television service based on Freesat.

The Shard Is Now On The Buses

A lot of the buses in London are now promoting The Shard.

The Shard Is Now On The Buses

The Shard Is Now On The Buses

The picture shows the advert on the side of a 277. I wouldn’t think this is that necessary as for the Leamouth end of the route, if you’re upstairs on the bus, you can actually see the building.

I wonder if advertising the view from a building on the side of a bus, is a bit like advertising a film? With films, they are usually not up to much, so is the view from The Shard, not the best view for the cost.

Wot No Advertising!

Quite a few London buses seem to be short of adverts at the moment, like this one.

So perhaps now is the time to start your campaign 0n the buses.

Are Bookings At The Shard Going As Well As Expected?

I ask the question, not because I want it to be unsuccessful,  but this evening, I was browsing the on-line copy of The Times and an advert to visit the Shard was displayed.

I would have thought, that given the building’s prominence on the London skyline, it really wouldn’t  have needed to advertise that it was open for business.

I did check The Shard’s web site and there did seem to be tickets available for the following two Sundays, although the Saturdays are sold out.

On the other hand with weather like we’ve been having, I might even pass a trip up the building.  Even if it was a gift!

But articles like this one in the Daily Mail aren’t very helpful.

I shall probably go to the cable car this Sunday, but there is a slight problem in that the Docklands Light Railway isn’t running to the northern terminal.

A Load Of Rubbish

Not my words, but those on the side of this truck.

We really ought to think laterally more, when it comes to advertising businesses.

Afterv all, this sign caught my attention.

Not What To Wear Today!

I saw this lady on the DLR at Custom House station.

Luckily she’s only an advert!

Otherwise she’d have frozen stiff.
