Advertising

A newspaper advertisement for an English ale has been banned, according to today's paper. The advert apparently showed a young girl dressed in low cut mediaeval dress sitting on a bale of hay with the caption "I love a session on the Bishop's Finger"

I suppose they have a point. (Bishop's finger is the name of the beer)

When we were thinking of advertising slogans, one early suggestion was "Come and get Spreadeagled in Jedburgh" which, on reflection would probably have attracted the wrong kind of customers.

A couple of walkers were in our bar the night before last - attracted by our real ale. They weren't staying with us though, because they'd looked on the website of the walk they were doing and we weren't on it.

Clearly we should be.

Comments
Aarlene - thanks for your comments. We have of course done a huge amount over the past year, but very little of it was planned or predicted at this time last year. It's been a very difficult year and behind all those (hopefully) entertaining blog postings have been two very stressed, very frazzled owners trying hard not to bite each other's heads off. There have been times (lots of them) during the past year when we felt like going for a long drive and not coming back. Hopefully things will be better this year.
