V-Flyer

Today in the Sunday Times an additional supplement announced the British travel Awards 2007

The VS ad on the back page was suitably pleased about how they had done[:w]

Very well done indeed. Quite a haul of 10 awards for the the VS, VH and VT companies.

My Dear Buns,

I'm scratching my head -- care to venture a guess as to the meaningful difference betwixt 'favourite' and 'best?' In a couple instances, the winners of the two diverged. I suspect -- mind you, I'm just a wee bit of a cynic -- that this surfeit of categories exists merely so more of the Times advertisers can win an 'award.'

What say ye, sir?

I read the supplement too, and was suitably confused too. As good as it is to hear that VS won a haul of awards, there is some aspect of me scratching my head. Yes when it's good, it's good, but when's its bad it's a downright embarrasment.

The cynic in me would suggest:

The more winners, the more travel companies can boast of an award[:w]

More winners equals more places required at the Gala Award night function - lots of food and drinks consumed by happy winners[}:)]

Just my thoughts you understand

I didn't get an additional supplement with my Sunday Times. Must have been the UK edition only

They're still screwing the Irish, dammit. [V]

And Mr. Buns, I believe you have hit that nail right on its head. [y]
