The World Snooker Championships sponsored by Cazoo so would be promoting petrol diesel and hybrid cars which is against their new policy? Tramlines as their promotional materials advertise Alcohol (Thatchers and Brewdog) which is against their new policy Sheffield Grand Prix part sponsored by McClaren (Cars) and Brown Bar (Alcohol) which is against their new policy Sheffield by the Seaside - Has stalls promoting unhealthy food which is against their new policy  Or putting the Helen Sharman artwork up .

Just jumping on the 'climate' bandwagon again. Pathetic!   Not many people would recognise that there is such a thing as a traffic lights+burger signs+climate 'bandwagon'. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's the amount. and they're lit 24/7.  Some junctions need this as it can never be safe without, but there's an awful lot that have no need for lights at 3am in the morning and would be perfectly safe to operate like any other non-lit junction.

I think I'll recommend a similar move to our borough council, because I know I for one will immediately forget about the existence of fast food and other tasty, tasty lard items if I don't see them advertised around and about.

Vrsaljko   207 #35 Posted March 19 Yet more nanny state nonsense which doesn't do anything to solve the problem at hand. Meanwhile people still see these adverts anyway on TV and YouTube etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe it’s that they aren’t sequenced in the way you’d like, but perhaps there’s a good reason for it.  Ever asked them about it?
