I know I should have better things to think about, but someone pointed me to this great commercial celebration of the up-coming Royal Wedding and I thought it was worth passing on.
Just proves that the detail matters…

Ooops! Wrong prince! I hope they didn’t make too many mugs before the truth sank in. Goes to show that quality assurance is essential,not a boring management fad.
I was living in Thailand when Charles and Diana married. The service was shown on Thai TV. I asked my local colleague what she thought of it and she said “Too much music!”

I once bemoaned to an American Taxi Driver that all their banknotes look alike save for the denomination number.
He disagreed.
“It teaches that it pays to pay attention to detail” he replied.
A point well made I thought.

I emailed them telling them that they had the wrong prince and I just got a reply:
Kind Sir. Thank you for your regards. Yes it is a beautiful marriage cup. It appears exactly as it is on the webscreen, in same glory. Have a pleasant evening.
Highest regards.

Even the Royals are not exempt from the spoof adverts, all good fun.
