Thought the launch in Market Place was very amateurish. Metro Radio chap making cheap jokes at expense of balloon artist (who was doing nothing but making silly/childish gestures back) Seemed more of a private party weighted toward Metro Radio, playing music so loud I couldn't understand/hear costumed lady handing out bags, who had to refer to GNE personnel sitting down away from the "noise", then came back still unaware of date of service commencement, any special promotional fares, or links with Metro for Airport passengers! - None of the male GNE staff seemed interested to help her, or make an effort to get up from distant seat,, to approach me and other members of the public. Other staff in costumes werre larking about to the tones of Metro Radio chap/"DJ?!" Main comment coming over sound system which drowned out any sensible conversation then referred to there were only 18 cups of coffee left (at approx. 2.30pm) - Why not get some more cups?! Plenty of people doing nothing, so someone could have got some paper cups - Summing up Poor effort, Very Amateurish, Bad Planning, Not consumer friendly event.
Only My opinion though!
