Blackpool on sea.
I had better watch out for the pleasure beach. I love it when people knock Sydney. Keep em out.

I think the statement disparages Blackpool.

errm - hang on a minute chumly - not ALL thanks very much - some of us aren't completely stupid - like our friend Mr "Ooshka...or Ooskha - as he spelt it" - how dumb?
True this waste of time was your typical wide boy-all flash-no-substance-spend-more time on-looks than on results type, and gives a bad impression of the industry. But some of us in PR know our arse from our elbow and work hard to bring real issues into the media that need public support to make a change for the good. Remember 90% of what you read & see is delivered by PR companies... that includes the small percentage of stuff that maybe useful.
(For the record Max "cheque book" Clifford - is NOT a PR man - he "sells" stories to papers - i.e. he is a "salesman").
This episode was laughable - I have rarely seen anyone in business more fanciful - and it does make you wonder how "real" this was? NOBODY rents a shop for (£40,000) per year without actully checking if it has passing traffic - hello!! I can't actually comprehend the stupidity of this guy.
So great show - make both the emigration process and the entire marketing industry look like a playground for the worlds stupidest, most arogant.......oh I'm soo angry.
Anyone want to help me launch a British-Expats.com documentary series - one that is actually useful?
Rant over - sorry having a "what the hell am i doing here" day...
