TIL that Busman’s Holiday is a bona fide phrase and not just an 80’s game show.
My wife thought I was joking that I’d never heard it before. When has anyone said busman instead of bus driver?
I’m questioning everything.
Except the quiz show, it makes more sense now.

As soon as you close a program because you're being a responsible computer user and sensitive to those poor old silicon chips gasping for air like they're on 50 Marlboro red's a day - you can guarantee you'll need to open it up again within 10 minutes.

Love a bit of under-the-radar copywriting, although trademarking it may be taking it a step* too far.

I've written a post - '9 Practical Checks for a New Business or Product Name'.
Read here ➡️ www.procopywriters.co.uk/2024/11/9-pr...
I used AI (Flux1) to create this image to highlight brand names that wouldn't travel well.
Obviously, Shito would do gangbusters in the UK.

I first noticed these signs in Costa Coffee last year, when my wife said I was 'Simple & Smooth'.
I told her she was 'Short & Frothy'.
She said that's not an option.
So much for thinking creatively on your feet.
You can't beat aliteration, these coffee signs in Costa are spot on.
