10.1.12 Holidays & Funerals

The nauseating adverts remind us how wonderful the Co-op is:

The Co-operative - Good With Food.

Yeah, right!  We all know that prices are high, and people who are forced to shop locally pay loads for basic stuff.  "Shit With Food" would be so much more in line with Advertising Standards requirements.  Still, I doubt I will make much progress in getting the change made.  Interestingly, the Co-op is a tad inconsistent with its adverts.  I have seen two adverts this evening, one for Co-operative Travel and one for Co-operative Funeralcare.  Where's the voiceover in a Scottish accent now, then?

The Co-operative - Good With Holidays
The Co-operative - Good With Death

I think Co-op heaven (well, heaven in the eyes of those running the Co-op) is someone who shops for food at the Co-op, gets milk delivered by Co-op Dairies, banks with the Co-op, books holidays with the Co-op, buys electricals from Co-op Electricals, gets medicine from the Co-op Pharmacy, sorts out insurance with the Co-op, and gets buried by the Co-op.  They'll be taking over shops at petrol stations next!  What?  Oh . . . . already done that then.  

And they say that the Chinese will one day take over the world.
