UK business gets sniffy over advert
Jan 7 - A row has erupted in the UK over an advertisment for a cold remedy which suggests having a day off work sick.
The TV and web "Take a Benylin Day" ad offers advice on what to tell the boss when calling in sick and reviews the best DVDs to watch while at home. The UK Federation of Small Businesses says the adverts are "outrageous" but the advertising company behind the campaign, JWT, said it had taken the advice of experts that taking a day off sick could help recovery from illness.
