A day to remember. Or not
The Sydney Morning Herald was rightly proud of publishing what it described as the world’s biggest print ad for Events Sydney – a foldout calendar of events in what it describes as a “super panorama” format.
Can you spot any minor error involving the date of New Year’s Eve?
That’s fantastic….
I can imagine the conversation at Events NSW…
“SO we’re talking about the Midnight fireworks display…”
“So technically it’s the 1st.”
“True, but it’s New Year’s EVE, which makes it the 31st”
“Yes, but it’s at MIDNIGHT.”
“True.”
“Shall we Google it?”
“Good idea.”
Ben II – I like your style
God, it ain’t too bad, but I bet the people responsible are probably kicking themselves… Nicely spotted!
I’m with Ben II. Technically it is 1 January 2011 as the fireworks go off at midnight. Why the kerfuffle? Besides, we’re talking about it. Result . . .
Indy – no it’s not. There is a whole program of entertainment (including the early “kids” fireworks) that happens before midnight and, by any measure, it can’t be New Year’s EVE if it is on New Years DAY
so not a big deal.. !
That’ll be funny for at least a year. You know, 364 days.
Why do Events NSW spend so much tax payers money promoting NSW events in SMH ie to people who live in Sydney?
Aren’t they supposed to attract visitors from elsewhere?
Anonymous 11.49pm – To that point, with the outdoor advertising of Sydney here in the UK, I’m not surprised they’re having issues in attracting people.
Utterly utterly woeful stuff.
Very Good…. I’m going to go down the Harbour on the 1st of January just to see who turns up. Then when 14 korean tourists do I’m going to demand that NSW Tourism a) employ adecent proof reader and b) stop spending a millions promoting Sydney in the SMH.
@R.Mugobme – well said!!!!! hahahaha
