About being orange... and speed cameras

[Clive Harper]

Dear all,
I spotted this quote recently and wondered if anyone else thinks it sums up the spirit of marshalling?

"For us, orange isn’t just a colour, it’s a way of life. Being orange comes from the inside out, not the outside in."
SARAH TAYLOR, Orange media relations manager, quoted in BA Businesslife magazine

I know I've taken it out of context but admit that I had a quiet smile when I saw it! By the way - I don't believe this excludes BOBs, it's just that they are probably a bit less orange than the rest of us!!




I also thought you'd like to share this photograph of signs seen on the way to Goodwood this year.

I think you're right - it does sum us up quite well

- but please don't quote from orange "business speak" - I may go insane - it's all I seem to hear these days!!

I'll give you all 1 guess where I work...

Around here the Orange motto has been changed to "The future's bright.......unlike our sales staff"

Are they as bad as T-Mobile?

Orange are great, and no I have never worked for them and do not know anyone who does. They are free to call, are helpful give good advise and if your dumb enough to top up the wrong phone (2 sims one phone) then they will transfer the credit across for you. Sorry to sound like a walking advert :-) T-mob ok, 3G are the real pants phones, heard a figure of 1 in 3 phones are returned or something is wrong might be wrong! :-S Anyway that's enough of me.

This morning, I heard the Muppet's song by Kermit "It's Not Easy Being Green" and I thought to myself, "Self, I wonder if a marshal has created lyrics to that song about being Orange?" Well, has anyone?
