There may also be a case for the hardhitting adverts he wants, but this is a good message, which both informs and reminds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12765#post-152356 Wed, 07 May 2014 13:45:28 +0000 robyvecchio 152356@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like Bez analysis:</p> <p><a href="http://beyondthekerb.wordpress.com/2014/04/22/risk-a-game-of-diplomacy/">linky</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12765#post-152353 Wed, 07 May 2014 13:42:40 +0000 chdot 152353@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This will be about the road crash adverts -</p> <p>"</p> <p>Doug Beattie (@BeattieDoug) tweeted at 10:37pm - 16 Sep 11: </p> <p>NI DOE Road Safety adverts on #UTV.

A proper mutual respect ad.
