Government Advertising

Andy Harper, (BBC Radio Cambridge Presenter)

On the subject of Advertising one thing that really annoys me is Government adverts nannying us:

Don’t smoke,
Drink responsibly,
Cook sausages properly,
Close gates when walking in the countryside
Get your tax return in by the deadline
Don’t walk under ladders
Wear a seatbelt

The Government spent £339 million* of our money advertising to us last year, much of that stating the obvious.
