frankly texperts et al get on my wick. If I wanted to be bombarded by advertising I would post my email address on the internet.

I also question the legality of it- if I were to send a message to someone via their unsecured wifi connection I would be committing a crime- whey should bluetooth be any different?

…”meet Ewan here cos yer can never find him otherbloodywise” suggested to Texperts but they declined it as all pubs within M25 requesting it. Leads to chaos and potential Ewan lookalike industry omg! Substantial royalties there Ewan so I don’t know…maybe its got legs. I’ve got the IPR’s on this. lol

so Texperts are paying for the Bluetooth placement?

Does every pub customer or pedestrian get that message? Ok, they found a happy recipient in you. What if it was a P4U spam offer? :-/

Hmmmm….smells like text spam.

Mark, this place I was looking at was cheaper than my old place in Euston; the property market in London is nailed, particularly if you can find vendors desperate to negotiate.

Mike, texperts and AQA get a huge, huge amount of their traffic originating from pubs — I reckon the conversion from this bluetooth ad will be pretty high. I’ll ask them.

Where’s the offer of a 2 for 1 pint?

Now *that* would be relevant. Unless Marylebone High Street has become a hole fishing mecca? Or are you in the market for a hole fishing shack someplace? Or about to base jump off the pub?

….and I thought pub darts/lawn bowls were the most dangerous sports, based on % of participant deaths?

…I need a pint.
