Alkaline Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Every website leads off with the words "5 week promotion". What part aren't you getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cool Thinker Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 The vouchers for books scheme with WH Smith will probably have the end of 2014 as its expiry.It couldn't be the £1 off a book scheme as it says that McDonalds will Distribute 15 Million books by 2014.

What part aren't you getting?The part where it says it will continue until 2014/2015. It says 5 week promotion then goes on to say it will still be going in 2014.

Alkaline Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 It couldn't be the £1 off a book scheme as it says that McDonalds will Distribute 15 Million books by 2014.They've signed a deal as part of an initial 5 week promotion. It may well be that they'll conduct the promotion at several points during the next two years. But it is not permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJimF Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 They also have deals with Mattel and Disney. This is going to be a recurring thing in the cycle of Happy Meal gifts so the 15 million will be over the course of the two years. The whole thing about being able to buy the book as well is just better PR seeing as you can buy the toys on their own anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Well the food is completely fresh the only problem with it is there is too much tables so you are crammed in to little spaces.Yeah, I agree. It's actually pretty decent, for a buffet. Especially the "live cooking" bit. It is cramped as hell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckula Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I anticipate HMV being replaced by yet another pound shop on Union Street. With One Up (most likely) going at the end of the month Aberdeen will have Cavern and fuck all else for music buying it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am personally hoping Home Bargains open a city centre store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
