skb558 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) “Here’s to the quirky...here’s to the innovators...here’s to the British twist on tradition that drives the nation’s quintessential creativity...like a blast of [...] Britishness as you sail back into Dover Harbour, White Cliffs glistening in the sun” The first person to tell me what this crock of marketing excrement is describing wins a Gear4Music Acoustic Bass. It cost £89 a few years back and has been gathering dust (with the occasional wipe over) for most of them. Failing that free to a home (good or bad).

TheGreek Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 No idea ( I even Googled it which made me none the wiser). Can I suggest you donate to the raffle of the nearest Bass Bash to you?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I suggest you donate to the raffle of the nearest Bass Bash to you?? Think you need to refine your google search techniques. I found it in 2 seconds. And since the last thing I'd ever want to own is an acoustic bass guitar, I'm not going to say anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 What are we supposed to be Googling? 😕 (I don't want to win the acoustical bass, thank you. I have one already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skb558 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) The bit in quotes and now bold at the start of my original post is from the packaging of some thing or things. Tell me what is being referred to and the bass could be yours if you are so inclined on the acoustic-bass-for-nowt-plus-post-and-packing front.

Ricky 4000 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Ah, gotcha... awful rubbish, and they've ripped off the quote from the Apple "Think Different" campaign! 😖 Very generous of you, by the way. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skb558 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 We have a winner! I hope you are not an employee of said potato-based snack company? Frequent rail traveller? I got a packet on the London to York service last Thursday and nearly choked when I read the blurb on the packet. So, decision time. Take the bass or donate to a worthy cause?

SH73 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Tempting offer as always fancied an accoustic bass but for time being please donate to worthy cause. After all it's Christmas. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
