Curmudgeon' s Corner. I blame it on the heat.

    Reverting to marketing gerunds, the sign on the Yorkshire Water Treatment Works is perhaps unnecessarily stating the obvious...  "Treating Yorkshire's Water"...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    ... at least it has the virtue of being true.

    Using meaningless marketing gerunds.
    Annoying curmudgeons when it's hot
    Risking retribution.

    A haulage lorry passed me today with "Total Logistics Solutions" proudly emblazoned on the side.  Why can't they just call a spade a spade, and say "Delivering Stuff"?
    I was determind not to start posting on  this thread but... today on Charing Cross Station I saw people wearing tabards emblazoned with 'Train Presentation Team'. I think they were the cleaners.

    I have seen the 'Train Presentation Teams' termed as 'Sanitation Managers'.

    B3, you've got some good gerunds going there. Is it a poem?

    The rain they promised for tonight has gone off the map!
    They promised. You can't trust anyone these days :(
    @LG_glad you succumbed. The best way to get rid of temptation is to give in to it!

    I just don't want to think of myself as curmudgeonly. But I am.

    Want to see some good banners from today's march? Quite good takedowns, I thought.
