I walk over Blackfriar's bridge to get to work.
This morning, workers were sticking a huge poster-thing to the outside of a large office building nearby.

Here it is:

So - who can guess what it is, or, if it's an advert (which I think) - what's it for?

I'll take another photo on my way back home.

It looks like an illness-awareness sympathy poster.

Cancer

Or giving to charity.

Ooh, I guessed, and then I googled it, and I was right. But I won't say, as that would spoil the fun and I cheated.

That was going to be my guess - the old people and the yellow.

Looks like it

At Sea Containers House on the South Bank insurance company Aviva wants to put a huge mesh across the river frontage of the building as part of its "You are the Big Picture" campaign which will run from October to December this year.
Aviva is taking over prominent buildings in five large cities across the world where it will display portrait photographs by Patric Shaw. Many of the images will be of children from Aviva's Street to School programme.

Brrrr. Just as I was posting that it was their yellow it gets confirmed. Brrr that a certain shade of yellow is so obviously an insurance company though.

I remember when Aviva were outsourcing years ago and one picket that sprung up because of it were sporting t-shirts with 'No jobs to Pakis' on. Guess which city?

Avivivivivia are the ones with the annoying Paul Whitehouse adverts, as opposed to Satanbear who have that airfix Lewis Hamilton ( or did, anyway ).

Aviva is 'award winningly' rebranded Norwich Onion. Also owns RAC.

kalmar · **Posted:** Mon Sep 27, 2010 11:37

Maybe I was thinking of Arriva.

Aviva are the go-to guys for a lot of HR stuff for the big companies.
