'Love at First Sight' for Essex passengers

[Ivo]

An unimaginative idea from First Essex to entice potential customers over the forthcoming Valentine's (shudder) period...

From Sunday 10th of February, to Sunday 10th of March, we're giving you the chance to take part in our Valentines campaign and win a ROMANTIC MEAL FOR 2.

If you have found love on one of our services, or are looking to meet that special someone, simply pick up a card and fill in your details. Then, if you think you've found the love of your life, hand them the card and let cupid do the rest.

If you think your story is one we would love, then fill in the online questionnaire below and you could win a ROMANTIC MEAL FOR 2*

'Love at First Sight' Entry Form

*A meal for 2 to the value of £50 will be issued to the customer in voucher form. Our competition is open to all persons 16 years and over. All persons entering our competition are expected to act in an appropriate non - offensive manner. We expect all participants to be considerate, polite and genuine when using our message cards available on bus. First strongly advise against any inappropriate behaviour towards any person partaking in the initiative.

Only in Essex :roll:

The most amusing thing about this promotion in my opinion is the last sentence. The connotations such a statement could potentially have! Still, if I was in Southend during that time, it might have been worth considering...

No thanks!

I'd rather they just put the bloody heating on!:-x

Railway romanticism may have worked better in the days of compartment carriages, but these days with any old Tom Dick or Harry wandering past and spilling their coffee all over you it seems a bit far fetched

With a Carry On thread already on this forum, I was reminded of I'm sorry I'll Read That again's send up of from Russia with love - secret agent Cliff Hanger-Ending on the 3.17 to Cleethorpes with several British Rail jokes
