You could of course tell them that naturally it would take more than one person to change a light bulb

It really has to be whatever sells the book though and if its a picture of you so be it

What about a full colour picture of you on one side, with smaller sepia photos of something (don't know what though!!) on the other side? Almost to show the 'old' essence of the traditional way of doing things. Not that I'm suggesting anything old about old style of course

Can't quite see the problem with the original idea. How about Martin in the centre of a group of people in a circle (or an M for moneysaving) taken from quite a height so the camera is looking down on the group (of smiling board members) at an angle.

It's a tired concept maybe but you could get everybody into the shot easily.

:think: that's the kind of picture I had in mind too.... :think:

Half of the page in sepia with fruit veg, vinegar, bicarb and the other side really bright, garish and colourful with ready meals, expensive looking cleaners and loads of consumables. Martin stood in the middle ....:j


Whatever... I hope he's going to be wearing a safety pin on his lapel

When i think old style i think

Vinigar
Bi carb
lemons
Slow cookers
Bread makers
Borax

They should be used in some way but how i dont know

A bottle of Stardrops Andy Warhol Style. The little circle which has 'contains Britrex' could have Martins picture in it rather than that writing. The name Stardrops could be changed to Old Style but kept in the same font etc so we all know what it was originally.

:think: Do you think its too much to ask for a pair of marigolds as well
