Khans Restaurant Review

I don’t know about you but when im feeling down, or feeling bored I love to get dressed up and have an enjoyable evening with my partner. Trying out new restaurants is something we do but sometimes we get let down with the food, service they offer and/or the price.

This weekend we really fancied an Indian and in Middlesbrough there are a few to choose from but we chose Khans on Borough Road. It looked nice from the outside but we couldn’t see much of the inside. We popped in to have a look and it looked nice and calm.

Advertising miscues

AS St George’s Day approaches, many people will be preparing to celebrate England’s national day and one company has managed to use the approaching day to help advertise their product.

English beer company Bombardier have had adverts displayed on bus stops for the last month or so. The adverts feature a list of things that many people perceive as English, such as Punch and Judy, teapots, bulldogs and pork pies.

But the most interesting thing on these adverts is that Bombardier are apparently the official beer of English Heritage – a group you would more commonly associate with maintaining derelict castles than drinking copious amounts of alcohol.

This is just one example of advertising that is not entirely appropriate. Sometimes, as above, it’s a case of the two brands not really being a good match for each other. However, occasionally you see advertising partnerships where it’s difficult to see why the partnership came about.

We thought we’d take a look back at some of the more memorable advertising mishaps of the past few years and came up with our top five advertising oddities: More
