Yesterday the owners of the London Eye successfully stopped our big wheel from being called the Nottingham Eye. They said that it would damage the reputation of the capital's latest tourist attraction. Locals have come up with alternative names for it, and some not too flattering. But it seems like it's going to be called the Nottingham Wheel from now on.
I wonder how they are doing in this Global (leftover Bush) Recession? Starbucks has fallen on hard times over here and lots of them have closed and or laid off people. The Notthingham Eye as the name suggests -- I thought was an eye glass shop.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I don't think tourists etc are going to get the two Eyes confused! Tell us some of the unflattering names :)
ReplyDeleteJust thought you could have called the post Cross Eyed! Lol!
ReplyDeleteSouthern Spoilsports! London really has to wake up to the fact only a percentage of the population live there and most of those are trying to get out.
