Soreen advert

Post by wabbithunta »



Saw this on TV just now, on my day off.
Yes, I know it's an advert, but I counted five things wrong with the postie on the bike. How many can you see?

No hi-vis
No lights on Bike.
Cycling with pouch over shoulder.
No chain guard by pedals.
Front-braking first so nearly goes over handlebars.

Yes, I spotted the lack of RM livery, but if you look carefully there is a red logo of some description under the pouch strap on his right shirt breast pocket.

Light blue with red trim. Short sleeves.
It is almost certainly a Ben Sherman - undoubtedly the finest shirt a Blue Shirt ever wore.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I believe they were Clash - and probably still made in the UK at that time.
