NESBR 2020 – Competition [Now Closed]

Commencing Friday, 11th February 2022, we posted teasers on the Facebook Group, ABZ Rare Birds, advertising the latest edition of the North-East Scotland Bird Report (NESBR 2020).

As was, hopefully, obvious to anyone who read the posts, the first line of each, either quoted directly or drew inspiration from classic advertising slogans - seven posts in all - up to and including Thursday, 17th February 2022.

We listed all the “clues” on this page and the competition was to identify which brand or product is connected with each slogan.
