OT - negative marketing
From time to time I come across examples of people trying to promote their
business but having the opposite effect. For example, the person who serviced the gas boiler (before we owned the house) stuck his label recording when the boiler was serviced over the paper instructions on the boiler. The label won't peel off without also removing the instructions. So I can't read how to light the boiler. No, I won't be asking hime to service the boiler in the future. Just had a letter this morning from a building company. It said "I have been told by your architect that you have received planning permission for your extension". I checked (although our architect wasn't mentioned by name so I was already pretty certain) and our architect has never heard of him. The planning permission has not yet been decided. So I have basically received a letter saying "I am a liar and an idiot, can I do some work for you?" Strangely, I won't be contacting him to arrange an appointment.
