Hate all this style over substance graphic design shit. You're just playing into the hands of the no marks who want to charge us a fortune to do all that shit.<br /><br />The issue with this beer festival is not the flyer. It's that it's in Oldham. It's one of those places - like Grimsby, or Wigan or Burnley - that just sounds ghastly.<br /><br />They'd be better off spending money on a branding agency to come up with a new name for their town than on graphic designers for their beer festival flyers.Stonchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001578598975666535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-59878994144910322882015-05-06T10:09:56.170+01:002015-05-06T10:09:56.170+01:00A fair point but the Mayor of Oldham's Appeal ...A fair point but the Mayor of Oldham's Appeal Committee do these.<br /><br />Volunteers I suppose are needed to redesign.

Inevitably, because of non-deliveries or beers that weren't ready, there were only 140-odd on. One punter told me that, because we hadn't provided the 150 beers we'd advertised, we should give the beer away free. At first I thought he was joking - silly me! - but when I realised that he wasn't, I told him that if he could tell me of another pub in Oldham with 140 beers on, I'd personally ensure he had free beer all afternoon.<br /><br />Not a satisfied customer, I'm afraid.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-57073246573710796042015-04-29T11:33:10.884+01:002015-04-29T11:33:10.884+01:00Err, Revolutions have been brewing since 2011.
