To promote the new Brussels – London Eurostar service some advertisements have gone up all around Brussels which have caused a stir – the dream of every advertising agency.
The one that has most tongues wagging is one of a football thug relieving himself in a cup of tea.

Other advertisements include an Alfred Hitchcock and a John Cleese impersonator. While the football thug might not be in the best taste, the ads show how universal these British characters are. There is no parallel ad campaign in London for Brussels. After all that old saying Name a Famous Belgian still rings true.
I thought this ad though sums it up positively for Britain. Apart from the USA, how many other countries could have their last three leaders so easily impersonated and recognised?
