eosmhdo 1,879 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Got a conservatory from CR SMITH due to the advertising. Council went nuts though as we were 3 floors up at the time ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatDolphins 5,358 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Advertising is all a load of shite to be honest. Being sponsored by tennents didn't make me drink more of the cool, Â refreshing, crisp lager from Scotlands top brewery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 CR Smith still call me, 5 years after I called for a quote for a double glazing repair. The number has been on block ever since, and I have pulled up the sales people when they appear with a stand at the supermarket. Bastards, must have seen me coming.

Scottywellhousetb 50,852 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Until the glorious day we are sponsored by buckfast  (and I've heard all the monks are blue noses and definitely no real kaffilicks before any cunt starts) then no Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclovin9091 1,405 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 No sure about the sponsor but the orange strip made me go out and buy it Drank Tennents more when they had it as £1.50 odd a pint but only because of the price, so i suppose that worked but could be argued that for every pint i drank a £1 went to the club (or cynically 50p did and i also funded the scum the same amount ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
one55 1,510 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 nope but i suppose it's not exactly what it's meant to do. they don't expect people to suddenly go out and buy their products. it's just that when you are in that market to buy something then they'll pop into your head. for example, if i wanted to go online and play some poker i'd think "well i know of 32 red...i'll give that a go". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMRFC 4,851 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 When I was about 8 I asked a barman for a glass of Carling because we were sponsored by Carling. He didnt give me a glass but did give me about a sip of Carling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigrfcc 265 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Interesting topic, friend of mine did his dissertation on it. More interesting if you are reluctant to buy something that sponsors 'them'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
