Let’s have a new slogan!

I think we all agree that 'One Trafford – Excellence, Investment, Efficiency' is a bit like saying 'The Sahara Desert – Green Pastures, Flowing Rivers and Hardly Any Sand'.

What we need is a new, more realistic slogan, and I would like to propose: 'One Trafford Too Many'.

Well, it’s short and snappy, and it captures the present mood. Above all, it would be cheap to implement. With the first two words being the same as before, all the council needs to do on all vehicles and stationery is to tippex out the other words of the existing slogan and then write 'Too Many' in scrawled handwriting.

Admittedly, that’d be a shoddy and botched job that would then need doing again properly.

Which reminds me, how is the latest repair on Stamford New Road progressing?

Other readers may care to offer their own suggestions for a slogan, and Trafford Council could act as adjudicator to pick the best, and then award a large cash prize for the one they decide to use.

I think my entry could win, and the £100,000 prize money (well, it’s only a little extra on your Council Tax!) would certainly come in useful. Might I be jumping the gun if I go out and order my new Ferrari now?
