Help needed from UK based member!

[Spitfire]

Hi all.
I really could need some help from one of our UK based members. I would like to buy some items from a UK based company - who only ship to UK adresses.
It's neither difficult, heavy or a big parcel.
Just some special beeropeners and bumpersickers I need as funny christmasgifts for my clients.

PM me. Please.
Thanks!

I'd put money on that being from a certain brewery in Kent that happens to sell a rather tasty ale named after Britain's most famous fighter of WWII

he he. I recall Gerhard Schröder making a personal complaint against those ads. (Downed all over Kent etc.)

I believe there was also a German company making noises about a line of products saying "****ed all over Kent, just like English girls by American airmen", or something along those lines.

That's right BK. It even made it onto the international news a few years back. But like a lot of things, most publicity is good publicity when you're trying to heighten awareness of a product.

In my personal opinion it was a brilliant campaign. The CD and team that came up with it must've been thrilled with the results.

Oh absolutely, and i think all the rumblings were silly. How dare you make Germans think about the war!

I mentioned it once, but i think i got away with it.

Being an "adman" myself I often use the Spitfire campaign, when teaching advertising and "campaignabillity" to students of communication.
A brilliant campaign!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

P.S. Thanks for the help offerede by both the Baron and Micawber. I think I am covered now.
What a nice forum to be in.
