Don't count your geese until they have been driven through London!

Hello again everyone,

According to marketingmagazine this week, T- Mobile's new TV advert will feature a flock of geese being driven through the city of London and is based on challenging outdated thinking within the Mobile phone industry akin to the old law that allows Freemen to drive livestock across bridges within the square mile.

This got me to thinking what other outdated laws there are out there that T-Mobile could use in follow up adverts, and it turns out plenty!!!

One such law is that you can drive away noisy brass bands from your street, not only that you can fine them 40 shillings if they refuse to move. Probably not a good choice following on from their last advert for joining a super band.

Another such law is that it is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down. Considering treason is still punishable by death I suggest you get this right!

If they wished to move away from London for the next advert perhaps they could go to Edinburgh, Glasgow or any other part of Scotland where if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter. Very helpful!

Sticking with the Scottish theme, In York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow, Again though probably not a good choice for an advert!

My favourite that I would like to put forward is that a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman’s helmet which you are not normally legally allowed to touch.

What an advert that would make!

So until the advert comes out on the 15th Febuary we will just have to speculate on what it's follow up might be.

So until next time people, keep recycling!
