this is so oversimplified...some career women make bad mothers and some make good mothers... as much as housewifes can make bad or good mothers...


i can?t understand why some people can start a campain and waste so much energy for such a vague topic...:-S



you are right: it is irritating!

...it depends what the one who started the post wants to chat about...


is it the ad and it?s power or the issue with career women itself...


i don?t think i missed the point here;-)...it just depends on the question...


so let?s ask the one who made the post: do you want to talk about the "power of an advert" or do you actually want to talk about the "career women"...


as if we are talking about the influences of ad?s i do not think it?s irritating at all...but if we are talking about the "career women" issue...then i do think it?s irritating!


tanza? what?s irritating to you?


maybe that helps us to know what you acutally mean!?!

Bus company ads are run by CBS Outdoor (an old outfit of mine).


In Jan occupancy is typically around 10%.


Mid 90s we ran charity campaigns on the other 90%, by the early noughties we ran campaigns aimed at ad agencies with photofits of senior guys in advertisng and game cards. The idea was that it would make agencies aware of how often they see bus campaigns.


CBS joined with the OAA (Outdoor Advertising Association) in the mid noughties and persuaded them that the medium itself was a way of promoting the medium.


Most ad agencies still reject outdoor posters on the grounds that their content is subliminal.


This particular campaign is to prove that outdoor campaigns are not passed over, but they incite public debate and engagement. They have no conviction in any challenge, the objective is merely to prove engagement.


They have 90% void, it costs nothing.


It's brilliant.


Really, unless you're a sucker, you need to make the debate disappear ;-)

I'd say it's effective but cheap. They could achieve the same result without using a statement that will make a lot of working women feel even more guilty and some non-working mothers / reactionary men just that bit more smug and critical. The Daily Mail will probably run a series of editorials agreeing with it, larded with examples of celebrity mothers to prove their point.

    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
