Wouldn’t it be lovely?
Sometimes, though not often, we can tie together two of our threads in a rather neat and pleasing way.
However, thanks to Neil Adamson, at Caerus IT Solutions, we can link the Argos Chav search engine tale with your obsession with sandwiches, currently being played out in the hundreds of recipe emails we’re sending out to you.
‘I tried to find the number for my local sandwich shop at Yell.com,’ Neil writes. So he just typed in the name of the shop, and was surprisingly given a list of local escort agencies. You might imagine that the lunch hour is a pretty exciting time for Neil, but wait: Yell.com is searching only on the first word, or the first few letters of the first word, as Neil’s subsequent research confirmed.
Second, even if it was searching on the entire shop name, it would be easy to get the wrong kind of establishment. The shop Neil was looking for is called ‘Lovely Baps’.
