STARTING A COLLECTION OF LOGO WINNINGS?

When David Chamberlain (N17) came to the office to collect his Ł300 logo draw win, Call Sign asked him about his hobbies:
"I collect things," he told us, "but nothing particular! I'm currently on film posters but after today, I might make that logo wins!"
   David has been on Dial-a-Cab for just over 2 years, having been a non-radio driver for his first 7 years of holding a green badge.
   In addition to collecting posters, he is a regular at his local gym and also enjoys diving.
   "This has stunned me," he went on, "I have never ever won anything before! My girlfriend and I are going to Greece next week and this will certainly come in handy."
   David told Call Sign that he is a great believer in corporate logos.
"If I didn't have to have one, I still would. Besides anything else, it is a great logo and in addition to advertising us, must be a great help when our passengers are looking for us - although it might need more than just a logo at London Wall!"
Well done David...

ELAINE'S VANISHING BODY
STILL LOOKING FOR SPONSORS!

The Call Centre's Elaine Smith is sticking to the diet she began in April and is still hoping to lose a substantial amount of weight by the end of October. To help Elaine keep on course, she has a sponsorship form in the driver's reception as well as one for the Call Centre and her loss could be a gain for the British Heart Foundation, the Multiple Sclerosis Society and The Big Issue magazine.
So to those who have already signed their names, a big thank-you from Elaine, but more sponsors to help Elaine lose and the three charities gain, would be very welcome...
