@IAmWho – Labour councillor/MP confusion now corrected.

To be fair Nick Forbes is a councillor, not at MP. He fully deserves recognition however, having “recently arranged for a new grit bin to be installed on Vallum Way”.

Tragically, rather than blubbing his way through, Perry Mills even takes the time to give an acceptance speech:

“I sincerely hope that our existing and future clients will take comfort in learning of this notable achievement that Oaktree are a professional ‘bona-fide’ commercial enterprise.”

Yes, I’m totally confident in the company now.

We have dozens of these in the U.S. and it is very common to see local businesses proudly display their “Top Marketing Award” plaques for all to see. And of course, sadly, they work to impress customers.

At $100 per wall plaque, that’s a nice profit so we can expect more of these trophy programs. Sigh.

I also received one of these letters, caused a mild rush of excitement for all of 2 seconds before I read the bit about “you will feature in our publication with only around 20,000 of these Young Guns”. Then I thought, “I thought Who’s Who was exclusive”, and also that they were unlikely to have such a ‘flash’ (cough) letterhead. A quick email to their office confirms they are not linked to this.
