  • F-Mobile

     A pox on T-Mobile for allegedly selling the personal details of thousands of customers to rival companies, in my opinion. Henceforth they should be known as F-Mobile, I reckon. ‘F’ as in fail - both the standards and responsibilities required under the Data Protection Act and its otherwise innocent, unsuspecting customers. I hope ...

  • Airbrushing, anyone?

     It’s not often that I agree with anything the Lib Dems have to say, but lobbying the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to introduce notices on ads targeting under-16s which feature airbrushed and impossibly skinny models is an excellent idea. As any parent will attest, trying to lead your kids through the Tween/Teen marketing minefield ...

  • Helping who, exactly?

    Another week, another round of bank bail-outs. The latest cost to UK taxpayers? £30.5 billion. That’s around £500 for every person in the country. Seems like rather a lot to pay for three new high street banking brands, which may or may not be viable sales propositions three or four years down the track, does it not? It appears we’re set to end ...

  • Absurdity Rules?

    On the back of continuing postal disruption comes the threat of industrial action on British Airways. More will undoubtedly follow, undoubtedly. Commentators are right: Is this 2009 or 1979? Amidst all the economic doom and gloom, rising industrial action and political paralysis, everything certainly seems to be going back to the future at present ...

  • The Funniest B.S. Around

     With a postal strike on, rising unemployment and god knows what other bad news gushing down the existential pipe towards us (optimistic bugger, aren’t I? LOL), I’ve decided to buck the gloomy trend and offer an amusing respite in this week’s blog. If you’re like me and hate all forms of marketing and management jargon, click here to visit a ...

  • Modern life is rubbish

     Ironic, isn’t it? For all Royal Mail’s talk of ‘modernisation’, we’re in for a good, old-fashioned mail strike on October 22 and 23. Oh joy. As if the rolling regional industrial action that has severely affected deliveries in recent months hasn’t been disruptive enough. I’ve earned the ire of some readers for previously sounding ...

  • Hooray for Michael Palin

    Notwithstanding that I’m a huge Monty Python fan, and that last week marked the 40th anniversary of the Flying Circus’ debut on the BBC (I suddenly feel old typing that!), Michael Palin’s comments of late that Britain should stop apologising for its colonial past had me applauding. His ’10 achievements to be proud of’, which include not ...

  • US DMA = Deep Doo-Doo

     The US Direct Marketing Association certainly seems to be in the wars at present. After a job lot of redundancies earlier this year comes news of a major PR fracas in the trade press, with former board member Gerry Pike baying for blood over the US DMA’s ‘budget-buster dues and conference fees’. I’ve been privy to some, but not all, of the ...

  • To the Royal Mail Strike: ‘On yer bike…’

     Is the silly season still with us? I’m beginning to wonder, what with strike action at Royal Mail affecting deliveries around the country. After finally seeing a welcome uplift in DM activity in recent weeks, comes not only a spate of regional mail delivery disruptions but the threat of a national strike next month. Perfect timing, huh? ...

  • Happy Anniversary (Not!)

     This week has, of course, marked the first anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse. Which triggered the global economic meltdown etc etc. (By now we all know the drill, alas.) Should the US government bailed the failing investment bank out, as it did insurance giant AIG, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and their ilk and thus ...
