Paddy Tax Free – Phone Contest!


In support of the Paddy Tax Campaign i’m offering the winner of this contest one free Phone Costume. This competition is open to anyone who is going to attend one of the Anti 02 Paddy Tax demonstrations and is known in the blogging community. The intention of which would be to give the media a good picture to go with the story.

So on to the competition. The below Costume has a space on the screen where you can print out and insert a slogan. The winner of the competition will be the best slogan as decided by other posters and myself. If you don’t want to get the costumes you can still submit your slogan and if you like nominate a winner / wearer.

Not sure how long we will run the competition for – i will let the organisers of the campaign suggest when they would like the costume for i suppose.

There’s a great new site that was brought to my attention by fellow Blogger Pat Phelen. It high lights Rip off’s in Ireland and at the moment seems to be focused on O2 and how they completely and unjustly screw Irish customers while our neighbours in the UK have huge incentives. O2 are the only network that will sell the iPhone to Irish customers and therefore are using the monopoly to bleed its customers dry – this is now being termed “Paddy Tax”.

Pat is running a campaign to highlight to people that they should be aware that they are been taken the proverbial long route by an unforgiving taxi driver intent on maximising his fare.

So visit www.Paddytax.com and find out how in how many positions O2 are taking their customers against the fence.
