    Post Office Vaults in Birmingham have been putting some good photos of their boards on their facebook and twitter pages, then said someone had nicked the board!!

    As they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

    Worked on me. If someone can come up with that, they can't be all bad.

    Spotted on the side of a pub in Faversham earlier today, but is this good marketing, bad marketing, so bad its good marketing, effective ironic marketing, an unnecessary statement of fact, or what? I really can't decide!

    I guess it depends on what you think they mean by "cheap", I would probably interpret it in the older way as meaning "trashy" or worthless rather than inexpensive, but then I'm not JDW's biggest fan.

    I think I'd perceive that as positive. Quite creative, although i suspect the local JDW manager is a bit p155ed off
