Some time ago when Salford City Council announced that the new Salford colour is magenta all the road workers were bemused. They declared that they will not be wearing pink uniforms. It did sound a little odd to choose pink as the colour of the city. By God it did work though. A little splash of magenta here and there stands out and looks actually good. One would never miss a magenta rubbish bin on the edge of the footpath, would one? Well....Just because you notice it does not mean you have to use it! Only if the Council can change the colour of the yobs' brains too.

Now Salford Council has a brilliant idea of using the shocking adverts to attract a positive interest. Another success. Most people believe that the adverts are unusual and they do draw attention and discussion.

It doesn't do much good to have a competition with Manchester which is what Salford seems to be doing but over the years Manchester has stolen the unique identity from Salford so now it is a pay back time. A Salfordian friend of mine actually hits me if I use Manchester as her address...It has to be Salford, Lancs. As Salford was it's own city before Manchester she says.

The best thing will be to join forces and help each other out to promote the North West, a peace seeker, fairness believer, Share and support your family attitude holder, middle of the road, negotiator me says. Let's show those southerners! Oops...Where did this competitor me come from???
