I wouldn't be altogether surprised if it were some junior who's never even heard of astroturfing and thinks he's thought up some wonderful new way of promoting the sale[grin]

Surely anyone from nor-thampton wouldn't use north hants (i.e. Basingrad) as their name though? Is this some sort of wind up obviously targeted at making a certain company look silly? Is it some rival firm from near Sow-thampton? Too obvious? |

The only trouble with a bit of astroturfing like that is that it can reinforce prejudices and preconceptions about business practices...
