Is it just me, or doesn't that have really negative connotations, i.e. Totalitarian, total war etc, especially when "Police Force" was replaced by "Police Service" years ago?

The thread brings to mind an anecdote from Billy Connolly; workers at the Armitage Shanks works in Barrhead were asked to help management come up with a corporate mission statement. The inevitable reply was 'Wur mission is to mak lavvies'.

See my post about Northumbria Police above. The guy who was the Chief Constable at the time it was introduced was Ex-Met. No such thing as an original idea. He liked slogans and (quite rightly) hated drunken anti-social behaviour. One campaign strap line was 'Enough's Enough'.
I think the other one was 'The Party's over.'
Came across like a strict Dad.

Seeing grammatical errors on vehicles and marketing material gives me a negative view of that company immediately. If you can't pay attention to something as simple as spelling on your marketing, how much attention do you pay to the work you do? It doesn't take much to check you've spelt your strap line correctly...

Personally, I think that sounds like what a very pissed Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say after staggering up to a much-needed urinal in a Romulan nightclub at three in the morning...
I recognized that straight off. Makes me cringe whenever I see it. Absolutely idiotic. And the marketing group has a decent budget, probably better than the product house.Personally, I think that sounds like what a very pissed Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say after staggering up to a much-needed urinal in a Romulan nightclub at three in the morning...
