I’d never heard of it, until, yesterday, at a bus stop near near Finsbury Park tube station, I observed, and photoed, this:
This advert didn’t impress me. I actually laughed. The Pauline Quirke Academy. Give over. You’re ‘avin’ a laugh. I did anyway.
Later, I saw the same advert in the tube:
This did impress me.
I think it was that the back of a bus is a tacky advertising spot, used by tacky enterprises that you have never heard of and will never hear of again. Ergo, the PQA must be tacky and will soon disappear. The tube is not such a tacky spot to advertise. Ergo, the PQA is not so tacky after all.
I wish the PQA every success. PQA website.
Pauline Quirke is best known to me for doing this. And to most others, if the internet is anything to go by.
Might someone else who saw both adverts have been more impressed by the bus advert than by the tube advert?
