The saucy minxes at British Airways sent me an unsolicited email a few weeks ago. Luckily my spam filter junked it immediately; the only reason they email me is to explain that I have millions of air miles but no way of using them in my lifetime.
This time, they were burbling on about the opening of Terminal 5 – which apparently I will find extremely arousing – and my eye was caught by this line:
… with the luxury of time to relax, you can enjoy everything the shops, restaurants, bars and cafés have to offer. These include a chocolate fountain…
A chocolate fountain? What do they think I am, a whore? No thanks, Executive Club Manager Sarah Keyes!
There is one in the main entrance of one of the popular department stores here in Geneva, in front of the chocolate department. I am not a very frequent shopper in that store, but every time I walk in there, I can’t help asking myself the reason why they have that chocolate running around. Whatever the intention is, whether just a witty decoration or a marketing tool, to me – a big chocolate lover – it does not look appealing at all!
