"Business isn't going so well. Wonder why?

Think it's the credit crunch? Or could it be the marketing? Maybe it's our pricing policy?

Perhaps it's the fact that we've printed our contact number in roman numerals so nobody can remember it??

Nah, that denotes how intelligent and sophisticated we are.

True - must be the credit crunch then."

genius

~ benchnotes

haha. great find. Are you going to name and shame the company or do i have to phone them to find out?

~ Anonymoose

I like the way that, undaunted by a lack of Roman zero, they've invented one.

That's beyond intelligence and sophistication.

~ Red

Ah just googled. I think it's an indie wine merchant. mmm hollyhocks, basil, mmm. luverly

~ Anonymoose

A true piece of genius design that one.

~ DaveMadeThis

That is so hard to read! Nutters!!

P.s re my entry - not at all, I was given it by a friend, and it was and still is so comforting to read.

now that made me smile and glad I could actually remember it from school to allow me to phone them.
I told them what you have done and they are going to look at your entry on blip for feedback on their marketing!

~ trabroun

Naw - only kidding!!!

~ trabroun

That's brilliant - I was going to say what Red said. The best thing is it wouldn't make any sense to a Roman either!

~ Joe

Oh everyone above stole all my funny lines. I'm out. Cool blip. You spot all the best things when you're roman around. (You see: not commenting early enough just leaves me to sweep up the bad puns.)

~ SooB

I love Red's and 77's comments, very funny blip! Nice one SooB!
