Danger - Man at Work
I’ve been tapping away at my keyboard for the last two days and I’ve hardly had time to notice what’s going on in the world.
However, a quick glance around the web tells me there not much going on in Secured Loans World. Although - on my travels - I did find one thing that both mildly amused and disturbed me at the same time. It was the story about TSB getting told off for by the Advertising Standards Agency for a misleading leaflet.
The leaflet was presented in the form of a folded handwritten note, with the text “Neighbour” on the outside.
Text in the main body of the leaflet continued “Hello, I thought I’d do the neighbourly thing and recommend a great deal on home insurance with Lloyds TSB home insurance. They beat my old insurer’s renewal quote so why not see if they can beat yours?”
A stamp on the bottom left of the leaflet stated “Chosen by your neighbours”.
Text, intended to look handwritten, stated “Redirect. I got a great deal on my home insurance with these guys. Just thought you might be interested”.
How very un-neighbourly of them!
