I've just noticed you wrote 2010, did you mean 2001 or was there a further update?

Oh I remember these. I have the showcase of radio jingles somewhere on my hard drive, but back in those days Music4 was called Vibe Music and Audio Imaging, so that's what the audio "watermark" keeps repeating throughout the track.

The four-note motif was the same for both TV and Radio, but the ...

I remember being distressed that the old BR liveries were being phased out in 1993 when privitisation occurred, although the old fag packet GWT (not GWR) livery is now a stone cold classic.

I've downgraded my TSB account to just being a landing point for my wages, and we still use it for our joint.

Slightly offtopic and should probably go on a TV Forum of some kind if there was one around but...

...one of those old advert compilations has gone up on YouTube -- apparently BBC2 / Lambie Nairn let Pizza Hut use not one, not two but three of their ident concepts to flog, to quote Spike from ...

This has probably been mentioned, but on the outside of the Tesco Express in Swindon "town centre" there is an old rounded-edge rectangle sign with Text in the old Tesco font saying "this store is licensed to trade in game"

Would take a picture but no way my phone is coming out of my pocket there.

Got a gut feeling after visiting Saino's earlier that it's not long for this world in its present form.
