When EE launched 5G in the UK, they took out a full page ad with a massive headline saying simply "A real crowd pleaser"

One of the best adverts for a long time - if you knew about the technical advantages of 5G, it had a real double meaning.

If you knew 90s British dance music, it had a further humourous double meaning promoting the telco (an oblique reference to The Shamen's Ebenezer Goode)

NEVER underestimate the layered entendre game in the UK.

> an oblique reference to The Shamen's Ebenezer Goode

That didn’t even cross my mind and Rich West (Mr. C) is a friend of mine and I know the song well. I, of course, get the reference now it has been pointed out, but you’re right that it’s pretty damn oblique!

I never knew 'Eezer, but do pass on my thanks to Rich for some brilliant tunes from my younger years!
