Is there any copies online of the EU Exit adverts?


Can't seem to find any (which is ridiculous if they're not uploaded to any official social media)


I've only heard them on the radio. Don't recall seeing them on TV yet.

"Brexit" is a horrible sounding word so I don't blame them.


I don't disagree. But can't help but feel "EU Exit" sounds far removed considering it's not really used anywhere else.


It's the official term used by the government:

GOV.UK is using "Brexit" as well: https://www.gov.uk/prepare-eu-exit

Brexit has always sounded like something I'd tip into a bowl in the morning and cover with milk.

Somebody somewhere invented this verbal mash-up, and because BBC News had nothing better to report on at Christmas 2016, turns out it actually dates from 2012:

I meant it isn't used anywhere else in the real world.

I recall Brexit was initially a tabloid term, a snappy sort of thing you’d expect to see on the front of The Sun, and the BBC News wouldnt use it in its graphics. Eventually they realised it had gone mainstream so started doing so.

I hope they made versions without the 29/03/2019 on the top of them!

The radio ads were airing “prepare for the EU Exit by 29th March” which have now been replaced by non-dated versions.

I walked past one of these posters on the way to work a few weeks ago, and wondered at the time what would happen if and when Brexit was delayed. I *think* though the version I saw was on one of those digital bus stop ad screens so they'll have been able to skirt around the issue, but can imagine there were plenty of physical posters put up too that were either hastily replaced, or more likely just left in situ until the next time they were due to be updated.

The ones on the bus stops near me were all quickly taken down.

Are you sure they just hadn’t reached the end of the time they’d paid for, Outdoor adverts do tend to be changed quite regularly, and wouldn’t be expected to stay up for a long period or even up to the 29th.

That is possible, I just noticed they all went around the same time the brexit date was pushed back.
