Flog It Blog It, Snigger Silly Saturday!

 Molly The Wally!

The claws are out as Waterstones take a swipe at Amazon for its attempts to launch a super fast 'drone' delivery service by claiming it will use a fleet of owls to rival it. In the one minute spoof advert, a man posing as Waterstones' press manager, hootingly named Jon Owls, tells potential customers the service will enable them to receive their order within 30 minutes of placing it online. Waterstones claim O.W.L.S - short for Ornithological Waterstones Landing Service could be just as effective. So on snigger silly Saturday ...... What did the owls say on a rainy night? Too wet to woo!




Thank you Travelling Cats we are thrilled and we will pop it on our awards page with pride.

    LOL, do you get to keep the owl?
    I actually feel guilty placing an order with Amazon now after I saw that Panorama programme.

    We'd rather an OWL deliver our packages than a drone. Drones are kind of creepy we say!!

    hehe, we didn't know about that. Thanks for sharing. Mum loves it when 'big companies' do something fun and unusual with their marketing.

    This is too funny! We would much prefer the Owl service. They could do some rodent clean up after they finish their deliveries.
