DIARY: Hands in pockets and pull out your markers

Campaign, Friday, 06 December 1996 12:00AM

What a short-sighted, tight-fisted, miserable bloody lot. The Diary has learned that an appeal by Watford College students for ‘some layout pads and markers’ has been met with only three replies.

What a short-sighted, tight-fisted, miserable bloody lot. The Diary has

learned that an appeal by Watford College students for ‘some layout pads

and markers’ has been met with only three replies.

So while you all sit in your posh offices surrounded by a luxurious

choice of fancy magic markers in all the latest shades, tomorrow’s

Jeremy Sinclairs are having to make do with Bic’s finest. How kind.

Wouldn’t be feeling insecure or anything, would you?

Tony Cullingham, the course director, carefully drafted a letter in the

style of a charity appeal and mailed it to creative directors and former

Watford graduates earlier this summer - but to little avail.

You probably just mislaid it though, didn’t you? So we’re giving you

another chance to cough up, or else we might just have to publish that

mailing list in full.
