spot on martin a classic scam that hasn't cost them very much.
mass exposure in the press, followed by more when ddc take it down and branded as unpatriotic in the tabloids.
their marketing chap/chapess is very shrewd, the nation is about to shell out on bets for 2012 and their business is in the forefront of peoples minds.

It might be a bit of fun if it was not so ugly and out of place. Is it on private land??

If they do know, so much for them caring about our famous White Cliffs and their world wide image what will the next monstrosity be.

It is a temporary advertising hoarding for a big football tournament that we play France in on Monday, it is a attempt at humour with a bit of patriotism thrown in, nothing subversive or permanent.

So temporary that I hope it is down by tomorrow. I wonder if you would be as complacent if it had been a jubilee image of the Queen rather than the England manager.

Jan I would love to have seen a image of the Queen displayed at the gateway to England, why do you think I would not?

Well as a true football fan I can only say Why?
Its dam awful and makes us look stupid. I want to be proud of England not a stupid effigy of the team manager..
Still if we loose badly they can always puch him over the edge with it.

Sorry Martin #28 I did not mean to offend.
The Queen was the first person to spring to mind because of the Jubilee, how about Andy Murray instead.
Is the monstrosity still standing, I was woken up by next door's wheelie bins crashing around.
