Newton Heath radio ads.

There's a Newton Heath "soccer skills" or something, advert running on Talk Crap at the moment, which is annoying enough but at the end it announces that; "There's only one United." I don't care how petty anyone thinks I am but I find that SO F$%&ING ANNOYING! Does anyone have any idea to whom I can complain about this offensive piece of crap? I'm deadly serious about this. That slogan is simply untrue and I want it stopped! An apology to the miriad other Uniteds of this world would be nice too.

I thought about the Radio Authority but I'm not sure they'll deal with complaints about ads. I would get in touch with our own United but frankly I doubt they would care to point out Heath's arithmetical error to them.

SMB - try "The Advertising Standards Authority/Association". Dunno the number but no doubt in the book. Mind, you'll probably get Mary Whitehouse answering the phone. Good luck.
