I remember a when I got on the (Villager) V1 a few years ago, probably 2014, and I was given the choice of a Frosties or Weetabix breakfast, in a 'take away' style pot which I thought was excellent.I think Alex Hornby is undoubtedly one of the best in the business on all aspects, but he is very clever in his communication. He is always talking to enthusiasts, because after all, word of mouth is the best form of communication, surely. And, if he get's enthusiasts on his side, then we all know that news travels fast!
Aye, he is. I don't think he's the best businessman around, but he's very clever about the way he draws in his customers. Giving you a pot of cereal on a bus wouldn't have cost them a penny in the grand scheme of things, as I'd be surprised if Kellogs or whoever didn't give them to distribute for free. It's a win win for both businesses, but comes across as going the extra mile for the customer.
