How Advertising Works in Chippenham #41
Decide to put your house on the market Research thoroughly the best Estate Agent* to get you the swiftest sale and best price for your property Agree to have a For Sale sign placed outside (not everyone does these days) Wait for a blogger with a camera to notice that Scott really does need to use his full Christian name in his advertising Et voila ! * = Realtor if you're reading this over the Pond Gosh, I see it's nearly 5 years since the last How Advertising Works , it's great to be back! NAH and I have a list of examples similar to Scott's e.g. Sue Wellings' signature at the swimming club became S Wellings and he was at school with Terry and Steve Potts (S Potts and T Potts). Do you have any examples to add to the list? 😉
They look lovely. Obviously deserve that first prize.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phillip, I'm most chuffed! Last year the badgers at the allotment ate my pears, so it feels especially good to have some to exhibit this time.
ReplyDeleteA big hug and a pat on the back and a hearty handshake for the prize winning pair, oops, I meant pears. I did get a good chuckle from the title. See, the Americans are not always so serious. :-)

Thanks Frances - I couldn't help myself with that title - I'm so glad it's also 'appreciated' across the pond ;)
ReplyDeleteO'er missus.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNot a great lover of pears, but they do look good, well done. Gary
I adore pears. Just about the only fruit I do like, in fact. Excellent work!
ReplyDeleteBTW, my OOTS is up. Is there a Mr. Linky?
Well done on your first prize! I don't actually like pears, but I can still appreciate them! :)
ReplyDeleteThey say grow pears for you heirs so I've never bothered with pear trees. You have done really well! Val
ReplyDeleteWell done! It was our show on Saturday. I didn't exhibit anything but was a steward. xx
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations! I think you are the first person I know who has won first prize at a show. I am SO impressed.
ReplyDeleteHaving just preserved ( froze, chutneyed, wine, jam, dried..) 70 lbs of pears I find it very hard to even look at a plate of the damn things..
ReplyDeletebut yours are lovely....well done!
They look edible unlike mine which have to be stewed to be edible.
ReplyDeleteThat's so annoying!!! Where did my comment go? I came on the minute you posted it and rambled on about Delia Smith's pickled pears and it just disappeared. Honestly, I am disgusted with Blogger today. But well done! xxx
ReplyDeleteTriplets!
ReplyDeleteWell deserved - they look delicious too. A pear tree is on my autumn lottie shopping list.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone - glad you liked my playing around with an old joke :)
ReplyDeleteFor the non-pear lovers I wonder if its because you've not experienced the juicy melting sweetness that a pear offers when it's just right? It's a difficult one to capture, but there's a good chance with this particular variety, Concorde. It's self-fertile and is a cross between Conference and Comice and has the flavour of Comice with the keeping qualities of Conference. Yum!
Well done! I love pears - and your comment above has just made my mouth water. Excuse me while I dribble on my keyboard...
ReplyDeleteHM - I think dribbling's totally justified :)
