Post by: Tom on December 19, 2009, 09:22:49 PM: OK I lied. I've lots of Ls.

If you've another spare five minutes, see how many of these company logos you can recognise by just their Ls:

Ikea isn't, Tarks.

Oh, but I think it is, Tom - it's just cunningly disguised as LIDL. ALDI is there also, but not cunningly disguised.

Post by: Tom on December 20, 2009, 01:31:56 AM: Have you had any snow yet?
Title: Re: No L

No, yes, no, yes, yes and yes!
Title: Re: No L
Post by: The Peepmaster on December 20, 2009, 09:12:35 AM: I see Alitalia too
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 20, 2009, 09:24:21 AM: Yep... that's there also.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: The Peepmaster on December 20, 2009, 09:56:20 AM: Wilkinsons!

And I've just spotted Lloyds Bank.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 20, 2009, 09:58:01 AM: No! (To Wilkinson's)

Lloyd's Bank is there!
Title: Re: No L
Post by: The Peepmaster on December 20, 2009, 11:49:09 AM: I just noticed Tefal. And possibly Ulay?
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 20, 2009, 12:30:58 PM: Sorry, Peeps, neither Tefal or Ulay are there.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Jack on December 20, 2009, 09:45:09 PM: JML is there too I think.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 21, 2009, 06:29:48 AM: JML is there!
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Diamond Lil on December 21, 2009, 07:14:22 AM: Sorry to be having a senior moment...JML??
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Jack on December 21, 2009, 10:03:30 AM: I mostly remember them for places like Woolworths. You know those little displays that always had a video playing for some "Magical Super Cleaning Wipes!" or "Easy One-Touch Magnetic Oven Cleaner!" or some other such tat. Those were JML.

I don't know what they do now there are no more Woolworths.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Diamond Lil on December 21, 2009, 07:43:06 PM: Thanks for that...I do remember what you mean, I think
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 21, 2009, 08:29:46 PM: JML provide lots of quirky gizmos usually on shopping channels, but they also sell things through major supermarkets, like Asda. I don't think they'd class what they sell as gizmos though.

They kind of remind me of the adverts on TV years ago, only back then the slogan was "Only from K-Tel!"

I actually think they have some handy things.

Title: Re: No L
Post by: Jack on December 22, 2009, 04:24:52 PM: I think these are the ones that nobody has guessed yet.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Jack on December 22, 2009, 04:26:42 PM: While I'm at it, I'm going to suggest Google.

And while I don't think it's correct, I'll also say AOL?
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 22, 2009, 05:06:03 PM: Second one is Dolmio.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 22, 2009, 05:07:49 PM: How on Earth did Google manage to escape till now? Talking about kicking yourself! Well done, Jack.
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 22, 2009, 05:08:59 PM: (And I think you're right about being wrong about AOL)
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 22, 2009, 05:19:14 PM: Is the solitary black 'L' Walkman?
Title: Re: No L
Post by: The Peepmaster on December 22, 2009, 06:12:53 PM: Colgate!
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 22, 2009, 07:26:15 PM: Let's see...

Google... yes!
AOL... no!
Dolmio... yes!
Walkman... no!
Colgate... no!
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 22, 2009, 07:33:13 PM: Jack, I think you're right apart from the second one on the second row - that has been guessed correctly! :)

Just had another quick look, and this one is still waiting to be named:
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w267/aquatom_2007/l.png)
(It is slightly different from the other one...)
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Jack on December 22, 2009, 07:54:18 PM: Is "Playstation" on there? Or "Playstation 2"? Or "Playstation 3"? I'm thinking of the small black L that turned out not to be Walkman.

Also, William Hill?
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 22, 2009, 07:58:18 PM: No, none of the Playstations or William Hill are there...
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Jack on December 22, 2009, 08:16:04 PM: Gillette?

Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 23, 2009, 10:03:59 AM: First one in row two is Intel. Can't take the credit - I have my beautiful assistant to thank for that one. :-*
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 23, 2009, 10:13:10 AM: Is the one in the middle of row two, Claire's (Accessories)?

Post by: Jack on December 23, 2009, 08:14:06 PM: If the pink one isn't T-Mobile then I officially quit this game.

edit: Also, is one Wall's?
Title: Re: No L
Post by: Tom on December 23, 2009, 08:16:57 PM: Jack, T-Mobile is there!
