That's what you'll be getting for all that money;-) I guess the other question that needs to be asked is will RunRev take advantage of this opportunity and suggest: Edinburgh's options include "UNESCO First City of Literature" and "Real Financial Strength". Home of a new Revolution Along a similar line I remember a couple of years ago hearing about a multi year English University Study that concluded 'Scots are generally ticked off with the English' But as far as national tourist slogans go I think the prize goes to Hong Kong which at the beginning of 2003 introduced the new "Hong Kong, it'll take your breathe away!" slogan. Unfortunately for them, back on 16 Nov 2002 the first suspected case of SARS was recorded in Southern China. By March 12 2003 the WHO had issued it's global alert which the media blew completely out of proportion leaving the entire world scared that they'd never breath again. So around April 12 2003 Hong Kong axed it's new, but clearly inappropriate, slogan. Talk about bad timing ;-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
