Meaningless slogans once more

On the way to work today, I overtook a lorry with the legend: “Rawlings Transport – keeping it real”. I don’t know where to begin on this – “keeping it real” was what hippies in Haight Ashbury did in 1967. Why a transport company – sorry, logistics solutions provider – should feel the urge to keep it real is beyond me, and, I suspect, them. I imagine the MD has a tragic pony tail.
Arriving in the bustling heartland of West Lancs, I was confronted with a sign for the upcoming Ormskirk street festival, which is being sold under the tag “Ormskirk Comes Alive”. Hmmm – does this confirm, as many people think, that it’s usually dead? Uncomfortably close to the Royston Vasey slogan, methinks.

  1. Keep going with the mindless taglines as you are making me think – and thats a good thing.

    Although as a mature student I don’t fancy being plugged into the national grid!
