Looks like he's got aspanner in his head.

Why do you think he's madly bucking like that? ;)

Spotted the forward-facing horse on a billboard outside Blackhorse Road tube today, and kudos to the ad buyers for the placement.

I was going to suggest that the billboard outside Blackhorse Road station seems to be perpetually advertising Lloyd’s Bank (as it always is when I walk past), but Streetview appears to have not captured the outside of the station with a Lloyd’s ad on it once in twelve years! The Apple Maps version of Streetview however does, so maybe I’m not going mad.

John Lewis Finance is now John Lewis Money. Whoop de do.

I’ve never been able to get my head around what it means. It’s a crap pretentious slogan.

I eep seeing ads that SCS has had a refresh in its stores, but for the life of me I cannot see any differences with how they were before

It's a price promise. It only previously applied to high street stores, but will now apply to online retailers as well.

It sounds silly and posh, but surely it's not all that out of step with what John Lewis are.

I'm sure it's far from unique, but saw my first triple-branded Smiths store last week in Taunton now they're making a big deal of their Toys R Us concession, and this store with a Barclays-branded cash machine to boot too. Doesn't look cluttered at all!

Do you regularly shop at Smiths? What is your favourite service that Smiths provide? Which Services do they not provide now which you think they should add?
