I went to school at Bradford Grammar and used to visit Bradford for shopping, and even worked in a stockbrokers office for a couple of weeks for work experience (yes, there really was a stockbrokers in Bradford).

Cycling Ads
Here’s a good idea for an ad campaign. Get all the best football players in the world – Ronaldo, Rooney, Kaka, Drogba pay them tons of money and then as they shine in the World Cup, your company will look really good. Nike write the future Alas, the stars failed and suddenly ‘write the future’ […]
