This was always the fun of Test week in April. Some years we had to tell them off for running around with hero cuffs out because it was too hot to move. Other years we had 6inches of snow coming in and concerns about hypothermia.
My year, one of the sections built a snowman!
i thought the same but i think I have been blocked from another FB group i was in.
some people really don’t like hearing an opinion they disagree with and would rather live in a perpetual echo chamber.
the frustrating element was i simply asked for the source last night. nothing controversial as i didn’t accept that:
words copied from “source”
signed
A Keeling
Commandant RAFAC
and then posted on Facebook is a guarantee of a message
(for reference the group and message was not RAFAC related, i have simply made it relevant for the RAFC for context)
so I asked “what is the source”
to which the answer came back
“Air Commodore Tony Keeling, Commandant Air Cadets”
I indicated copying something to a Facebook group doesn’t make it official…
now i cannot find the group!
i should perhaps be upset but i am entertained by the lack of transparency in that group - it was set up on the premise of a need that wasn’t really there and is trying to be smart and clever by shortcutting the usual routes of communication…sharing new information of which there is no acknowledgement of where it came from!
Isn’t that this place? 
Aldi’s Facebook page right now. M&S have supposedly begun legal action against them RE Colin, so they are just taking the urea on Facebook. It’s actually quite amazing
This whole thing is actually amazing, I don’t use Twitter so this one is new to me 
They are really capitalising on the (free) PR - even if they lose the case, I suspect that their market share will be boosted considerably.
Same as Ryanair, no such thing as bad publicity. Charge pax £1 for a wee? Millions of £££ worth of free PR? Cheaper seats for pax who have to stand up for their flight? Millions of £££ worth of free PR? Letter to Ryanair telling staff not to use the office electrickery to charge their personal devices? Millions of £££ worth of free PR?
It’s certainly a changed world in that sense I guess. But these social media specialists really do seem to come in to their own when these sort of national-news cases happen! Turn a bad story into profit 
Notwithstanding the 5-6 other “non-targeted” supermarkets with a comparable caterpillar cakes, this is best one I’ve seen so far. 
Aldi’s Facebook was on fire today. Some amazing posts.
Tesco has two - Carl and Curly. Curly is gluten free.
Mini Farmer (3) found my bugle this morning when he woke up. We discovered at 5am that he can make a very good noise with it. The neighbours were not impressed
I once saw a kid levitate off a bed when a bugle was played in his ear. Every muscle in his body contracted at once it seemed to create this illusion.
I must say, I was in waitrose yesterday (humble brag) and their version is pretty similar too so it’d be interesting to know why / how the M&S lawyers decided to pick this particular fight
Someone’s doing well
Yeah, seen a lot of these sort of comments. All the main supermarkets have some version of Colin. From the photo’s I’ve seen though (and there’s been a lot kicking around SM…) the Aldi one’s face looks very similar to the M&S Original. That might be the angle they are going for.
Still, it’s made for some good memes.
Good timing for one of my favourite jokes…
What’s the best thing about Sainsburys?
It keeps the riffraff out of Waitrose
