Things That Make You Want To Throttle Someone

This week I discovered a local council paid a 4 figure sum for a font.

A. Fucking. Font.

I mean it's not as if Linotype or others haven't fired out tonnes of them already is it?

Which gives you some indication of just how much taxpayers cash they piss up a rope when re-branding themselves. No money for this and that, but want to bring in some design bods who'll charge a small fortune just so some fucking ego can get a boner watching their project splattered over the borough? There's the wads of cash, now go play.

Tossers.

  1. And the worst thing about it is the recession will have absolutely no effect on these sorts of utterly insane vanity projects. But there'll be fewer lollipop ladies and meals on wheels...

    Sadly no, for contractual reasons I have to be careful what I divulge!

    Aye, Councillors whine about services whilst filling the pockets of themselves and their friends.

    Of course the real scandal is how the likes of Sodexo get away with what they charge the public sector. Once you've got into the public sector as a supplier, prices get ramped up hugely.
