@stoolpresidente Dave can you please post a rescue shoutout for a Mark Humphries with the tartan army in Boston? We’ve found his wallet, his bank cards, his drivers license. We are at the Bostonian Hotel and have been trying to find him for the last two hours.

For fuck’s sake. Socialism is NOT Communism

Capitalism – anybody can be rich
Communism – nobody can be rich
Socialism – anybody can be rich but nobody should be poor

@tomfgoodwin I think you are half right, Tom. I just don’t know which half.

@rorysutherland @tomfgoodwin Renaming ‘perfume for men’ as aftershave. Opened up another half of the population.

@clairestrickett This is really late to your post but I was just with a major luxury watch brand who see what Grand Seiko are doing as a threat. Seiko are so established as affordable quality that they’ve built a base to launch ‘Grand’. This is the best example I’ve seen in years.

@drwilding @rhodri What a great perspective, from someone who’s really thought about it. I love small twitter.

Roses are red,
Your passport is blue.
Now stand over there,
In that very long queue.

@tomfgoodwin Other way around. First is nepo.

@tomfgoodwin Language and accent!

@Ben_Phillips @tomfgoodwin Reads like 👍 Alain de Botton as brand advisor. I mean this as a compliment to both him and Muji.

@davegrainger They had the guy from the Anti Growth Coalition on drums that day.

@tomfgoodwin Please, please watch Still Game. Netflix I think. Comedy at its finest.

@tomfgoodwin Waitrose and M&S Food section have set a bar that Tesco, Sainsbury etc had to rise up to. Nobody has even got close in America and therefore nobody has to. Still doesn’t answer your question on why non-US brands fail. But it equally twists my melons too.
