G'day Mowerfreak, Max and Speedy,

MF, yes, Noel was a great larger-than-life actor.
We just can't get that sort of quality wood anymore. Alas ...

I loved your observation of the truck ... a true heavy vehicle spotter.
I guess it had a water-proof hubometer ... ?

Max, I taught advertising at a senior level.
I knew the tricks and had a pretty good model for students to follow.

But, nothing I taught really understood the modern, sinister trend of
the 'influencer'.

Much advertising has now been removed from advertising companies,
that followed the honest but manipulative rules.

The underbelly of advertising now lies with influencers that present as
you-or-me, but are paid by companies, using dark money, to spruik
a particular view about an issue, or a product.
