I saw this van in a car park in Newry recently promoting a Monaghan based window cleaner, apparently they have branches in New York and London, but the ladder work in New York was just a bit too much, a 3 stage extension ladder was just not good enough for all those skyscrapers and London was a bit too far to come home at lunchtime hence mainly concentrating on Monaghan.

I seem to like these vans with witty promotional lines, search earlier posts for a delivery company van in Belfast with the strapline, "to Finaghy and beyond" , and an earlier post of an oven cleaning company van with a group of seagulls on the roof rack as though it was the seagulls that did the cleaning.

View this morning from top of the steps leading to our Eco-Loft, does it follow 'the rule of thirds', one of the critical rules of photography. Mentioning 'photography' reminds me of an experience I had recently involving a computer generated voice.

There are loads of Facebook content and Adverts with a 'synthetic' voice, presently there is a Stena Line advert I hear, about travel from NI to Scotland, when listening to podcasts which is definitely not human, it just expresses no emotion, (mind you it could be one of our local politicians). I am guessing these items are either written in one language and then disseminated to different markets using 'auto-translate' or else they just too miserly to employ a voice-actor,- see AI is already dispensing with some jobs.

Any way, my experience happened when I was viewing a site on Youtube of 100 famous photographs, such as the Na**lm Girl during the Vietnam war - thankfully she is still alive and living in Canada, the voice over for the video stream was a monotone american male voice and on item it had to discuss the 'photographer' but instead of saying the word as we would it was split into two words to sound like, "photo-graffer", we say pho-tog-raffer

However having listened to the link below to the different UK/US pronunciations, there is a slight different of emphasis on parts of the word but not as blatant as "photo-graffer".
