And first prize goes to .........................Doctors surgery appointment cards. I've been on my local surgery appointment cards for about 2 years so far. NOT HAD 1 JOB FROM THEM. Ok so my ad isnt the best. Not much space on them. But I think absolutely no one must read them.

Paul     You're right to a degree but some people are always in the doctors. Obviously no one reads the cards. Just thought of this...................one of the other advertisers on the cards is a Funeral Directors no less. I ask you.......on a doctors appointment card  ;D ;D ;D

A doctor buries his mistakes - does not advise them on home hygiene  ;D

Also avoid DIY shops, Suppermarkets etc.

The companies are usually based in the North West, Blackpool area.

If you try to get out of paying they bite

Many years ago I refused to pay when I found the rack of cards in a back yard covered in old boxes. Took a photo and told them to take me to court.

Never touched them since.

Regretably the stand has stayed in position.

What I object to is they sell you space on the card stand.

Exclusive carpet cleaning.

Then Homebase allow a leaflet base advertising company to put leaflet type adverts on the wall.

I believe the ideal business would be an undertakers.

After all, everyone is dying to get in there. :o  :o

I could never be a doctor, I don't have the patience  ::)  ::)

I wanted to be a baker, because I kneaded the dough  :-[  :-[

When I was a kid, I thought I was a truck, 'cause everyone called me Lorrie  :(  :(

That's 'nuff.

Cheers,

Shorty.  ;D

OK Mark,

We get the picture, no need to enlarge upon it  ;D
