Methinks he talks with 'forked tongue'.

Must admit though there are some 'GREAT' posters, what do others think?

Even Gromit has been included.

[hc4361]

I like them all. Positive statements and appealing images.

[pa___ul3]

if we could change the name of the country to "OK but a few things aren't so nice Britain" then a change in the posters may work more to your liking. Doesn't quite have the same ring though!

The one about the countryside being great bugs me - didn't this government want to destroy several forests only recently and had to backtrack because of the hue and cry ?!

[jackthehat]

No, it didn't.
It was contemplating selling some woodland areas.....and then decided not to.

[notasyoungasiwas]

Yes, backtracked because of the hue and cry ...

[sallybb]

The countryside is Great Britain, should have added 'enjoy it while you can'

[starone]

The pictures are good and I thought whoever thought of the idea is clever but I notice he didn't really mention anything about the economy being great. But then why should he when he is trying to attract tourists in order to make the economy better.

[jackthehat]

Slightly different from 'destroying several forests'.......no?

[notasyoungasiwas]

No, because that's what they wanted to do ..

I agree sallybb

[jackthehat]

Is it?

Can you provide a link?

[andy-hughes]

Quite agree AOG - as a Tory, do you think our leader is not being entirely honest with the rest of the world?

[notasyoungasiwas]

I knew you'd ask me that - no I can't, it's just what I read at the time and all the peitions I signed against it, along with many, many others.

[anotheoldgit]

Can any of you ABers select a picture off the 'WEB' to add the 'IS/ARE' GREAT BRITAIN tag onto it?

[jackthehat]

You would have signed a petition against the selling off half the land owned by The Forestry Commission.

Several Governments of (different hues) have also considered this.

[starone]

Why do people say 'methinks'? It must be centuries old and I don't think anyone is as old as that. Not even me, and I am the oldest inhabitant (female).

[Gromit]

Not a bad campaign, but some of the visuals are naff. Could have done better with the olympics one especially.

Friendly pubs are Great

What a great picture, 'METHINKS' it has given me a thirst.

Trust Branson to get his mug on there. It`s ironic the ad shows an airline that he flogged to the Singaporeans.

[notasyoungasiwas]

O those fish and chips yumyum ! Might just nip to the chippy for my tea now ..
