First for vanity

An over excited missive thuds into The Fact Compiler's inbox.

It reads:

A book about the history of Aberdeen based transport giant, FirstGroup, is to be published today in line with the company’s 20 year celebrations.

"An Incredible Journey, the First Story" is written by Martin Helm, a former journalist and Transport Department Information Head who went on to advise FirstGroup.

Incredible indeed!

So here's is a picture to cherish.


But what's this?

Also attached to this gag inducing piece of PR puffery is the following extraordinary image.


Good to see that Sir More Duckweed is content for his hapless customers to risk life and limb negotiating a growing mound of unsold copies that had been strewn across the platform.

UPDATE: This from Graeme...

Photoshopped, you don't see that number and those kind of people coming off platform 6N at Aberdeen ;-)
