| A real new product:
VAXBI, billed as "the bus for the future".
Unfortunately, that means no one can ever use it.

There is a tale told, of a cleaning product company who had trouble
marketing their "Best Universal Grit, Grime and Effluent Remover"
after they made an acronym of the name.
They had no better luck with their "Finest Universal Cleanser Known".

I heard that one. The slogan went, "If DAZ won't whiten it, and
BRASSO won't brighten it, F*** it."

Nope. I bet it was some crafty cokney sparra like Tommy Steele -- or
maybe Max Bygraves. Smacks of musichall humour.
Much more on this tack and we could be ex-employees.

All right, stop the Mail, already !! I'll TELL you who it was .....
Richard...
A West-country (ours, that is) folkie called Fred Wedlock, based in and
around Bristol. (He still does a show on Bristol local radio, I
think.)
The song was called "The Handier Household Help", and included the
memorable phrase
"..keeps your wireless free from static,
and will fumingate your attic...."
If there's sufficient demand, I'll post the whole of it.
If enough money gets sent, I won't.
