TAKE THAT – "How Deep Is Your Love?"
Tom • Popular • 30 comments • 5,796 views
#735, 9th March 1996
The UK media has, for the most part, a tolerant, condescending view of pop fans. The girl sobbing and screaming over a band is part of the grand, cyclical parade of British life, to be filed next to thermos-clutching ladies camping out for the Harrods sale, or lardy men mournfully setting alight a season ticket. Every so often, though, the mood turns, shifting to concern, distaste, even fear as the fans go too far for their patrician liking.
Take That's break-up was one such moment. Fans howled and shrieked on the national news. The Government (grateful perhaps for the break from its own long deathwatch) set up helplines. Others looked feebly on, asking the same question the fans were: why? These observers meant – what's all the fuss about? Why the rending and wailing? This bit is easy. Because Take That really had revitalised the idea of the boy band, and because – with half a year and more since Robbie left – the fans had been given plenty of time to dread and anticipate this inevitable moment. Perhaps even to rehearse it.
Their why? was more of a why right now? This is fairly easy too. Even if a four-piece Take That was viable, Gary Barlow must have realised that now was the time to make the break. There was little sense yet that Robbie's solo career would be more than a sideshow, but his leaving had put the stayers on the wrong side of a credibility gap.
One last single, the band announced – as nailed-on a Number One as anything ever has been. It's a Gary Barlow showcase, as you might have guessed. On "Never Forget" – their obvious and better finale – he'd given the spotlight to Howard. No such generosity this time – the other three are already ghosts on "How Deep Is Your Love", there to fill ropes and chairs in the ridiculous bondage-themed video. Attempts at harmonies would have been unflattering besides the gorgeous shagpile singing on the Bee Gees version, but then so is Barlow's flat, tasteful performance and the low-fat acoustic arrangement he's picked.
There's no romance here – on the record at least, everything is calculated for minimum vulgarity. This is Gary's pitch as a pop star – grown up but still warmly nostalgic, classy but humble. It wasn't hard to spot subtext in the song choice – how loyal are you, fans? Will you follow me? – because that's what the entire record was saying. Serious, Ivor Novello winning Gary Barlow was singled out after the split as the factor which had made the difference, elevating Take That above the ordinary. He played a part, but you could as easily argue he held the others back – pulling them towards earnestness, letting their mischief, sweetness and sexiness show more on film than on record. The solo careers and reformation would help settle those arguments. For now, this is a fine song, but a lazy record and a desultory goodbye, wholly undeserving of the passion their fans had just shown the country. Take That had already given us the bang. Here was the whimper.

I remember hearing at the time that four people apparently committed suicide when Robbie Williams left the band, but only two when the rest broke up. The review says it all, really.
mapman132 † on 10 Sep 2013 #
Saw the video for this for the first time a couple days ago. It was mildly amusing with the context of the crazed fans and impending breakup, but "Never Forget" would have been a much better first half career swansong. Obviously, this was never a hit in America. 5/10.
JLucas on 10 Sep 2013 #
A fairly spot on summary of this one – it feels quite inconvenient in the context of the first phase of their careers. Never Forget was such a superior farewell, this one made commercial sense but was really a single too far.
The video is silly, but quite funny. At least they went out on a modicum of humour in that respect, and considering the hysteria surrounding their split, to heavily imply that they all die at the end (especially Gary), was fairly gutsy.
Poor old Paula Hamilton. Life after this wasn't kind.
swanstep † on 10 Sep 2013 #
I love the original (one of a number of tracks that built directly and well on 'I'm Not In Love'), hence predictably this pallid version seems utterly redundant to me (never have I missed tasteful electric piano so much!). Reasonable fan service I suppose though, esp. given the amusing vid.: Take That put their lives in the hands of a fan who put her life in their hands:
3 or 4.
hardtogethits † on 10 Sep 2013 #
Hi Tom, are you sure THE GOVERNMENT set up helplines when Take That split? For many, many reasons I'd like to believe this was the case, but I'm not at all sure.
(ps I know charities and TV shows set up helplines – I know they existed)
Mark G † on 10 Sep 2013 #
I see we are boldly in the era of CD1 and CD2, what was on these souvenird? Remixes? Live tracks?
Izzy † on 10 Sep 2013 #
I rather like this, but bowing out with a cover was such a cowardly move. I see now that the idea must have been to place Barlow in the lineage of supreme songwriting pros, but if so then having to borrow someone else's lines undermines any sincerity. I'm reminded of Kurt Cobain and 'it's better to burn out than to fade away', not entirely fairly.
I'm not convinced they recorded this specifically as a 'last track', more likely it was something left over.
Cumbrian on 10 Sep 2013 #
Others have already said it, but I'll chip in and agree that The BeeGees version is lovely. The Take That version seems a bit "will this do?" – the rhythm track sounds like another one of those pre-sets that you get on a keyboard and the backing vocals lack the warmth of the original. A bit of a dud. At least they had the humour to have themselves killed at the end of the video – being pushed into a quarry if memory serves. On their comeback, do they climb out of it?
Had a quick butchers at the CD1 and 2: three live tracks per disc, all are quite long versions (CD2 has 7 min versions of Back For Good and Never Forget)
Kat but logged out innit † on 10 Sep 2013 #
I remember being rather puzzled about Take That covering a Bee Gees song and NOT opting for one of the disco ones, seeing as they'd had a decent bish at Relight My Fire (which = still amazing). It would have been a good start to the impending Full Monty disco revival (aka the first time anyone my age had heard of Hot Chocolate) but I guess real life narratives are never that straightforward.
The video was a bit alarming. TOTP stool watch: standing up for both of them! Amazing eyebrows from Louise Wener as well.

The last sentence of the review sums this up well. Or in one word: tiresome.
Not only on TOTP stoolwatch (in both senses), but "dire cover version attack": far more of a nod to W***life than to the future Take That Renaissance. (As for Gary Barlow…his time will come here. A roofer may be required for the degree of slating that will be called for)
thefatgit † on 10 Sep 2013 #
"How Deep Is Your Love?" was as stately as The Bee Gees ever got. A masculine love song, (although it had been the intention for Yvonne Elliman to sing this on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack) delivered as a challenge: how much do you love me? Start counting the ways, and peel me a grape while you're at it. More assured and confident than "Massachusetts" with Robin's coy doe-eyed stares into the audience on early TOTP. HDISYL? was an hirsute Alpha-Barry love song, his lover drawn to him and his sexual magnetism, and John Travolta's Tony Manero as well. If this song were released now, today, it would have to be a female voice singing it. That's how far the tide has turned. No machismo hidden under the finest veil of sensitivity. That's not acceptable any more. But that's what made the song so listenable in the first place. Here, Gary Barlow is the cowering Scar to Barry's Mufasa. Here he's too weedy, too needy. The production too shoddy for this to count as anything lasting or valuable, like The Bee Gees version with its tension between machismo and sensitivity. All of that is erased by Gary here. And TT dolefully exit the stage, wiping away the panstick to the cries and gnashing of teeth of their loyal fans.
Steve Williams on 10 Sep 2013 #
#7 – I remember at the time Barlow said that they chose to do a cover version because he thought they hadn't done one for a long time and he felt it was important that the band proved they could take A Classic Song TM and Do It Justice. A bit like Rod Stewart working his way through The Great American Songbook or something, I suppose, a bit of dues paying.
And, of course, the rumour they did it to pay back Barry Gibb for secretly writing Back For Good.
@James BC, #12. For what it's worth the 'I really need to learn' line makes complete sense in the film where the song plays over the final scene: after a long dark night of the soul riding the subway, Tony arrives on Stephanie's doorstep in Manhattan and really needs to learn whether she'll have anything more to do with him given that he tried to rape her the previous night. (I always thought that T&S wouldn't be a couple at the end, rather, still somewhat amazingly, they're just going to try to continue to dance together on the understanding he'll be moving to Manhattan and leaving his even more rapey buddies behind… but maybe I misunderstood; at any rate the song taken by itself *sounds* more strictly romantic than the in-film scenario allows – maybe it fits the SNF in people's heads and in TV versions better than the pretty dark actual film).
The problem is that that usage of 'learn' is a bit archaic. "When the king learnt of Sir Mordred's treachery, he was sorely displeased."
If they couldn't think of a more contemporary synonym, they could have just put a third "how deep is your love" in place of that line and the song would have been better.
Andrew Farrell † on 10 Sep 2013 #
That's … pretty much the regular meaning of learn?
lonepilgrim on 10 Sep 2013 #
the production sounds thin compared to the lushness of the original – instead of a rich chorus of voices there's a nasal buzzing that isn't pleasant. The video is kinda fun.
Brendan F on 11 Sep 2013 #
Yes, the video saves this, for me. After all those years straining for credibility beyond their teen-girl fanbase now they knew it was over and could do something a bit off the wall and whereas they play it safe with the song, the video at least amused me so I think it deserves a 5.

Yeah, there was definitely something about the TT fanbase, wasn't there? It makes me wonder what would happen if 1D suddenly jacked it in?
Will † on 12 Sep 2013 #
After the big farewell single that wasn't a farewell single, this is the low-key coda to the TT story. Interesting to wonder whether there would have been room for them in a post-(bunnied summer Number One) world. Probably not, I would have thought.
Also…just look at how indie they look on that single sleeve. Both Gary and Little Mark are wearing shirts that look like they've been lifted from Jarvis Cocker's wardrobe circa Babies. Another sign of the times..
Patrick Mexico on 12 Sep 2013 #
I'd say it's clockwise from the bottom left: Pulp; Suede; The Smiths; Duran Duran circa New Moon on Monday.
"Take That dress up as bands who are better than them" raises a smile, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers did it so much better on Dani California.
Paul Weller on the Bee Gees, 2006: "Good songwriters. But grown men on helium, it's not good."
Patrick Mexico on Take That, 2013: "Not-so-good songwriters – except Back For Good. But covering disco-camp classics, it's hilarious, especially when so much raw emotion's invested over someone with bleached hair from Stoke."
I have warmed to Take That over the years, but God, the ten-year-old me hated them. It wasn't even because they were a boy band girls would back their school textbooks with. It was because 1992-96 was culturally such a diverse and exciting time to be a kid, especially on TOTP – and they felt like they weren't preventing the future from happening, but preventing the nineties from happening and all the mums and dads going back to the church fete, satisfied that their cultural tentacles didn't extend beyond a provincial nightclub (with plastic palm trees) in 1979. Next!
AMZ1981 † on 14 Sep 2013 #
I once read (in a quickie biography on Robbie Williams) a conspiracy theory that Back For Good was actually written by the Bee Gees on the condition that Take That covered one of their songs – this was doing the rounds BEFORE this release was announced.
At the time it was actually their second biggest seller.
I actually liked this at the time and seventeen years later can live with it – it's easy enough on the ear. I wonder if anybody at the time dared predict that this would have an absolute corker of a follow up …
There was an obvious reason for releasing a cover of course; Gary Barlow was holding back for the solo push. When his solo album eventually emerged it would prove to have five covers. Without wanting to get too far ahead this would not be the only number one of 1996 to feature Gary Barlow, nor would it be the only Bee Gees cover – this is arguably better than both and it will interesting to see if Tom's scores concur.
Finally for the third time in as many singles Take That found themselves in the top five simultaneously with Boyzone and keeping their Irish rivals at bay; Coming Home Now would be Boyzone's only nineties record to miss the top 3, it was crowded out by Take That, Oasis and Robert Miles' Children (the biggest selling non number one of the year)
Musicality † on 14 Dec 2014 #
A quick cover done a bit differently at least but would have been better going out on an original song.
Erithian † on 5 Jan 2016 #
Don't remember the video at all from the time, which is strange, but not half as strange as the video itself – and not in an endearing way. You just wonder how many takes they needed for that fork-in-neck shot. Song is OK of course, but not done half as well as the original and the only way they make it stand out is in the different inflections – different rhythm and emphasis on a line here and there. In fact the overall effect is like hearing one of the new people they've got on Sports Report reading the football results and remembering how much better James Alexander Gordon used to do it.

Skipjack or yellowfin? Stock status and ecosystem effects of tuna fisheries
February 28, 2017 | Policy Forum, Climate Change, Fisheries
You've seen the headlines – tuna is in trouble. "Bleak outlook for sushi favourite as bluefin tuna levels drop 97 per cent," writes the Telegraph. CBS News says: "Sushi eaters pushing Pacific bluefin tuna to brink of extinction". Does this mean that you should be putting down those tuna sandwiches and spicy tuna rolls? Not necessarily.
When considering whether or not to eat tuna, it's important to look at both the health of the fish stocks and the ecosystem effects of the tuna you're buying. There are five major types of commercially important tuna – skipjack, albacore, yellowfin, bigeye, and bluefin. Each type has a different taste and texture and is used for different food items for humans and animals, from poké to cat food. According to the 2016 ISSF Tuna Stock Status Update, 52% of the global stocks are a healthy level, 31% are overfished, and 17% are at an intermediate level. Some stocks are in more trouble that others, especially bluefin.
"Pacific bluefin are still being overfished, they're not doing well. But, for the most part, things are much better than they were ten years ago for most of the bluefin species," said Andre Boustany, Nereus Program Principal Investigator at Monterey Bay Aquarium and 2011-2013 Fellow. Boustany has done extensive research on tuna and is a member of the Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). "Atlantic bluefin is doing much better. They've still not recovered, but we have ended overfishing."
The skipjack stocks are healthy and sustainable, as well as many of the albacore. Yellowfin and bigeye tuna are somewhere in the middle. (See figure "Know your Tuna".) While bluefin tuna is currently unsustainable, most people are not exposed to it as the majority is eaten in Japan as sushi.
"More often than not, if you're eating tuna sushi in a restaurant in North America, it's yellowfin or sometimes bigeye. Bluefin has a richer flavour," said Boustany. "In the US anyway, people want less flavourful fish so they actually prefer yellowfin. Yellowfin doesn't have the fatty cuts because it's a lot leaner. That's why there's a premium for bluefin — it's a fattier, oilier fish, and more flavourful."
The health of tuna stocks depends on how many of the fish are being pulled from the ocean, but it also depends on the traits of each species. Skipjack tuna are smaller, but reproduce quickly and often, reaching sexual maturity at one year old. Whereas bluefin species don't reproduce until they are five to fifteen years old and even then, it's only once a year. Skipjack are able to replenish their populations much faster than bluefin and better withstand fishing pressures.
While bluefin stocks are the most in trouble, the majority of it is eaten in high end sushi restaurants in Japan and around the world. Image by Lindsay Lafreniere.
The issue of bycatch
While some tuna stocks are sustainable, on the downside, the ecosystem effects can be very damaging. Bycatch is the fish, birds and marine mammals that are caught, injured, and often killed in the process of fishing a targeted commercial species. In the case of tuna, this includes turtles, seabirds, dolphins, and other fish.
"It's pretty bad with skipjack and yellowfin especially in the Eastern Atlantic, the Gulf of Guinea, and the Western Central Pacific. In these places, they use fish aggregating devices," said Boustany. "They're catching a lot of sharks, rays, and turtles, as well as a lot of juvenile bigeye tuna. This has been impacting the ability of the bigeye stock to recover as they're being caught in fisheries targeting skipjack and yellowfin."
Fish aggregating devices have been used for hundreds to thousands of years, since fishers first noticed that tuna naturally gather under logs and other floating materials. The devices work by using artificial floating objects attached to large nets called a purse seine that encircle an area of the ocean and then scoop up large amounts of tuna and other marine species as bycatch. Purse seines are used in 64% of tuna fishing. Longline fishing, with a main line of up to 150 km with smaller lines and baited hooks, is used in 12% of tuna fisheries. Longlines have a similar issue with bycatch as sea turtles, birds and sharks will often get caught eating the baited hooks. Pole-and-line caught tuna makes up about 9% of the market, but has little to no bycatch.
"When I'm going to eat any canned or prepared tuna, I'll eat pole-and-line caught albacore. In a restaurant, I'll try to find out where it's from, whether it's local or not, and how it was caught. In most of the areas where I've lived, that has been possible, just because there's been a consciousness about sourcing fish responsibly," said Boustany. "Yellowfin and albacore are pretty good choices, but there are some bycatch issues with each of those. Try to do what you can when buying a steak or sushi in a restaurant. Try to find out the source. If they know, they've probably sourced it in a way that's better than average."

The future of tuna
With climate change, marine species are expected to move towards cooler areas, generally closer to the poles and into deeper waters. Boustany has already seen changes in the distribution patterns of some tuna species, but it's less of a concern with these very mobile fish.
"If their prey shifts or if oceanographic conditions shift from one area to another, tuna are going to be able to adapt pretty easily because they can swim across the ocean in 30 days," said Boustany. "Where it may have a bigger impact is in the spawning areas, which are generally in more tropical areas. If the spawning areas become less suitable, you can get big differences in the reproductive output per adult. The tropical tunas like skipjack and yellowfin live in the same place as they spawn, so they spawn year round. Bluefin are feeding up in sub polar latitudes and swim back to the tropics in order to spawn."
And since there is such a demand for tuna, should we be looking for alternative sources? Tuna has been farmed, but Boustany believes that this won't benefit the wild stocks.
"It's always going to be more expensive to raise a tuna completely in captivity to market size then it is to go out and catch it. Another issue is that, when we've been successful raising fish, we thought it would decrease fishing pressures on wild populations and that has not borne out," said Boustany. "What it does is create additional markets so you may be actually popularizing a fish that was a premium product before and now is a mass product. The fishing pressure still stays there — it's not the great saviour that a lot of people pretend it to be."

Apparently Stross's first published novel, this introduces us to Bob Howard. Bob works for The Laundry, one of those Len Deighton style organisations that no government would admit to running, but most do actually have. He's a computer administrator, but it's getting a bit tedious dealing with Fred from Accounting (especially after he's been killed), and the office politics is a real pain, what with a stuck up jobsworth of a line manager. So Bob gets into the field. It's not much to start with, just breaking into an office in Watford (anyone with sense would be breaking out where Watford is concerned), but things develop from there.
The problem is, in this world, there are secrets that no human should ever have to know. And one is that Hell, and demonic possession, and necromancy, do actually work. And of course, that makes them fair game for weapons of terrorism, or of mass destruction. (There are some rather chilling consequences that come from this, and part of the horror here comes from taking things that happened in our real world, and finding other motives behind them.) In the end, it's up to Bob to save the universe.
This is an odd idea, distinctly odd, being a crossover of horror and cold-war thriller. But, all in all, it's pretty amazing.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm already entered for the Tour of Portugal and determined to improve on last year's 13th overall. After all I managed to take 5th place on the prologue despite starting 20 seconds late and being only 10 seconds down on third place. Although I genuinely decided not to ride the special stage on the prologue flat out, I made the school boy error of assuming the timing was triggered by your actual start i.e, by a light beam, not so: it was manual timing so started on your exact start time on the clock! So had I started on the correct time twenty seconds earlier and ridden at exactly the same pace, I'd have finished third!!!
It was day two that was my ultimate downfall, when a hard, loose climb proved impossible to get up without assistance from the marshals, this delayed me for so long that I then got caught up on the ridgeline, in low cloud, hail and snow. Visibility was so bad I was reduced to riding at about 20mph so lost a lot of time and eventually finished 18th on the stage.
Day three was better, with 8th overall for the day but marred slightly when I missed the turning to the start of the special stage and continued several kilometres down the road to where it eventually turned into to a gravel track, I continued for a while but after arriving at a junction that was clearly not on the road book I decided I was definitely off track, so turned around and retraced my steps. Then when I did find the correct turning and started the special stage, it was not long before we entered the same gravel track from a side track (I had wondered about all the tyre tracks at this point so should have realised I was off route then) and of course as it was a public road, was subject to a speed limit on the road book! Of course I had already ridden it at rather faster speed than was allowed…. and then did it again on the way back!!! As our speed was recorded by GPS tracker, there was no escape and I had inadvertently picked up two speeding penalties!
So definitely room for improvement!
Racing will go on hold for a while as we have the wedding in May but I hope to be back in action at the BAJA GB in June. The only UK event where we share with cars and buggies (although not on the course at the same time) as it's also part of the Welsh Hill Rally, I've not managed to fit this one in before but I'm keen this year will feature road book navigation. The cars traditionally use a road book on these events and this year so will the bikes.
Then in September I hope to do the two day Tour of Mann, on the Isle of Man. Another event that I have missed in the past but I'm keen to give a try as I've never been to the Isle of Mann before. Not a navigation rally but a "follow the arrows" event, it has a reputation for being a bit tough!
That's it for the time being but I'm also planning to organise a number of road book practice days, I already have routes planned in Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Thetford Forest and the South Downs, so watch this space.
I love motocross. This is my hobby which I have been doing for more than fifteen years. Recently I tried myself as a traveler on a motorcycle, this is the cheapest way to travel. The main thing is not to lose yourself on the roads of our planet. I tried this software source, it showed itself perfectly well in my little trip for a month. You can try, especially since it's free for three months.

Even Sea Turtles Are Getting Acupuncture! - Jennifer Dubowsky, DIPL.Ac.
Acupuncture for animals continues to gain popularity. This weekend CBS reported (see the video here) a story about three sea turtles who are suffering from joint infections. Their joints have limited range of motion which causes them to have difficulty swimming, important for a sea turtle! They are being treated by acupuncturist Claire McManus and the aquarium's head vet, Dr. Charles Innis, says it seems to be helping. I'm glad to hear it!


Are Car Dealers Apathetic About Social Media Marketing?
Social media marketing is popular but not considered "mission critical" by most car dealers and locally based business owners... Does this represent a marketing competency gap?
Uptake of social media marketing among US based Car Dealers has become somewhat widespread amongst the auto industry's early adopters. There's plenty of automotive marketing related research available that has suggested it's a cost-effective, easy-to-use marketing channel that can boost customer acquisition as well as fulfill other automotive marketing goals. But the majority of American Car Dealers still don't see social media as a "marketing necessity".
At the same time, though, 50% of car dealers, automotive marketers and business owner respondents said the marketing tool they could not do without was "word-of-mouth". Yet, surprisingly enough, just 4% of car dealers, automotive marketing professionals and business owners said the same about social media marketing, even though the goal of most social media marketing efforts is exactly that... to create word-of-mouth message communications and viral marketing velocity.
Nearly two in five (40%) of the car dealers, automotive marketing professionals and locally based business owners surveyed said word-of-mouth was the main way they got business, and another 42% cited word-of-mouth in combination with other marketing promotions.
While offline forms of word-of-mouth remain critical for all automotive franchise brands, and certainly for small or locally based independent car dealers and businesses of all kinds, social media also plays a valuable role by giving customers a wider voice for their dealership experience reviews, product and dealer recommendations and helping to amplify that voice beyond their immediate circle of friends, family and colleagues.
Among dealerships and other locally based businesses that report using social media for marketing purposes, Facebook was most commonly used and was also considered the most effective at growing and expanding the business, followed by LinkedIn.
I'll follow up with, "yeah me too, I talk to a lot of business owners on a daily basis and always ask if they are managing their reputation online in any fashion. Many say 'nope don't need to'.
Kinda strange to see that if you look up those that say they're doing great, it looks like they're ok, but their reputation isn't always good online. Yet they still go after 'word of mouth' marketing and depend on that as their mainstay.
Just a thought, even if you don't depend on SM as a means to generate word of Mouth advertising, you may wish to at least keep up on your reputation online so that if there are any issues you can deal with them quickly and efficiently before it gets out of hand.
I've seen large companies make one small mistake and bloggers and Social Media users totally trash them and they see it on their bottom line. For a big company to be affected like that, you may wish to keep at least an eye on it.
It's exactly that kind of apathy in so many Dealer mindsets that caused me to stop wasting my time with Principals and Owners not truly interested in evolving their bottom line - a pervasive, sad lack of vision hardened by continual marketing failures supported by conceited excuses masquerading as "experience" and followed by blindly repetitious knockings of heads against the same unyielding wall.
Of course, many of these are the same Principals and Owners who switch and chase after shiny gimmicks ever one to three months hoping for salvation from lousy numbers, high turnover, and viciously antagonistic public perception.
That's every business owner's mindset...'I want results now" not let's get the data and figure out where this will work. They intentionally 'try' new stuff to justify that the old way is the only way.
That said, I've noticed that web chat is finally taking off for some dealerships. funny though it's as if they don't know how to use it. I've been on three that you end up having to leave a message...??
Why would you get a LIVE tool and make someone leave a message?
Many GMs and Principals don't "facebook" themselves. Or any social media is left to their spouse. Well, if you don't do it, you don't get it--making decisions, pro or con, about social media efforts and spends without participating in social media yourself is like deciding about print ads without knowing how to read.
Not much more to say after that one...although I'm sure we can come up with a lot more...LMAO!
What's even more ironic, is we, UK automotive professionals look to the US as the place where smart social media marketing is really happening.
As Michael just commented, most dealers are brought up on short term tactical activity. If I spend x now, I can expect a return of y by the end of this week. The idea of having to spend $100's per month (conservative estimate) to have a fully fledged social media marketing program, and likely see no return of any bottom line consequence for 6 months, is simply not going to happen.
Yet I'm sure we can all quote some great dealers who have truly embraced social media and are consistently outperforming their short term tactical neighbours. Ironically, it's not difficult to follow what these dealers are consistently doing well; it would be easy for all dealers to learn and instigate for themselves - but they choose to ignore this and continue with their tried, tested and consistently under-performing habits.
"it would be easy for all dealers to learn and instigate for themselves - but they choose to ignore this and continue with their tried, tested and consistently under-performing habits."
LOL Instigate is a perfect word there Andrew!
Wow Ralph, you set me up with this one. You know this is my favorite topic. I've only written a few posts on ADM and they're all about this topic. The People We Touch (which is directly about word-of-mouth advertising), Social Media - Evolution or Revolution, and Social Media ROI - Are We Asking The Right Questions.
It really doesn't surprise me that 43% of respondents said, "It's not necessary to my business". They would have said the same thing 10 years ago about the Internet. I'm really not concerned about those dealers. They are the ones that the rest were born to beat.
In fact, I'm not really concerned about the majority of dealers (followers) who want to see others succeed before they "jump in". I'm concerned that the "leaders" see Social Media for what it is... the next Internet Revolution. Right now, that's just 12%. Sounds fair to me. Not everyone can be a leader.
I would like to ask, "How many dealers are on here reading these posts to try to improve their business?" I'm not talking about their sales staff or Internet Managers or other forward thinkers in their dealership. I'm talking about dealers. I suppose they're too busy. Whadaya think?
If any of you know of Elise Kephardt of Sunset Honda (member here, and participant in the Internet Battle Plans), you'll probably understand her selling success is tied to great videos--most of them individual selling and closing tools (http://www.youtube.com/user/SunsetHonda). I just heard of a conversation with a GM who was pointing out how few "views" each of her videos got . . . as that was some kind of negative to him . . . sigh. She sells north of 30 cars a month, as I understand it, and you can see why from the videos - IF you can understand she's not trying to be Shakira with 30million views or whatever (at least not yet). She's just trying to sell herself, her dealer, and her cars in a modern--and successful!--way to the handful of people she needs to connect with in order to do that. Shamefully, it's people who look for the "Internet No", as this GM did, who will never get Social Media (whatever it becomes) either.
Keith, we have almost 1500 videos and most have 1 or 2 views. That's OK as most of them were meant for one person only, the customer who inquired about a vehicle and the video mentions that ONE customer by name. If that video brings that ONE customer in, it did it's job. What's the ROI of that?
Hmmmm Elise is fantastic, I was so impressed to see what she does for her customers. It's called "wowing" your customer. The customer understands that you went above and beyond what was expected to earn their business. What light bulb is too dim to see that?
But take a look at one of our salesman's videos with over 19,500 views... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVAh_U7c6Yg. He is not a movie star, but he's earned his wings with that many views. He also happens to be our top salesperson month after month.
Btw, the video is much too long, he is not exciting, but he does a video for every Internet customer and he keeps getting business day after day. He just "gets it".


British families are facing tax increases of £1,250 a year to plug the growing multibillion pound black hole in the country's finances, an economic think-tank said this morning.
Private pension schemes have already been raided, now it's the public sectors turn. Slash MPs and civil servants pensions by the same % that private ones were reduced by. Next get rid of a few thousand useless paper pushers. Problem solved.
Just reduce public (government) spending!
Labour has historically been a Spend and Tax party.
Although not happy with what is going to result from their latest debacle - I don't just mean the economic crisis, they wasted millions on made up quangoes before then - it really should be no surprise given their track record.
Surely this cannot be a good thing - rising prices but less money to spend in the first place... I think we have a long way to go before we bottom out yet. £1250 per family per year will be chicken feed by the time Noo Labour have finished with us.
I know they have no experience in government (but maybe that's a good thing) but my vote will go to UKIP at the next election.
They stand for many things I agree with, and they weren't responsible for our involvement in Iraq.
When the revolution comes, who shall we shoot first? Bank exc's and public figures who think tax money is just their own private piggy bank to be used and abused as they please.
We have our mini budget tomorrow, taxes going up, including a tax on your tax(wtf!?), health care and pensions down!
Who said that was the point, skiingman, this extra tax money needed is for the money Gordon Broon has wasted in Britain, and will be happily wasting more of the UK taxpayer's money after this since the announcement of spending £100million on upgrading the transportation network in southern Africa whilst he sits back and watches the UK transportation network creak, groan and collapse.
Yes, all of your comments also apply to the finances of the United States government, which was legislated from 1996-2006 or 2008 depending on branch by a party that claims fiscal responsibility is Job Number One and shares little ideology with the groups you are complaining about.
Governments everywhere are in a financial mess with few exceptions, and while I expect political hacks to blame it on one party or another, I don't expect sensible people to believe it. Our ideology is vastly different than yours; same mess. Blaming particular politicians is reactionary and a bit pointless.
The majority of regular contributors to blogs and forums in the UK - including this one - are right-wing reactionaries who will attempt to pin the blame for any and everything on the current Labour administration even though, as you say, this global crisis cannot be attributed to any national government. If it is Labour's fault, why is almost every other developed nation in the world, from Australia to Ireland, Latvia to Japan, also suffering?
Even in the depths of a severe economic downturn, the official opposition cannot muster more than about 40% public support in the UK. What does that say about the electorate's confidence in David Cameron to lead the country?
Gee, I wish I knew what I thought I knew when I was your age, Skiingman.
What you don't know (obviously) is that, historically, Labour governments have always driven the U.K. into great debt, even without help from Uncle Sam. What is being said in this thread is -Yep, they've done it again.
Anyone remember the 83% tax bracket, plus 15% investment income surcharge which applied back in the late 1970s. I don't think even the Scandanavians managed a 98% tax rate.
Michael, it says a lot about the sheep who vote. And, if my memory serves me correctly, didn't Spitting Image do a sketch about the Tories a few years back when people facing unemployment, repos, etc said they would still vote Tory?
Also, remember that Davey the Kid hasn't had a chance to fight an election against Gordon, or fight an election against Blair whilst leader, so how can you say that he cannot muster the support? Now, considering the small matter of how the public have turned against ZaNuLabour, with almost 60% saying that Davey the Kid is doing a good job and the same amount saying the one-eyed scottish idiot is doing a bad job then I would say the tide has turned, despite it only being a 41% "we want change" as far as the parties go. As things get worse (wait until your taxes go up in the budget), that will be likely to change. After all, it has changed since Goggsy took over, and since nobody exactly knows what is going to happen in this crisis, some people are sitting on the fence at this moment.
One last thing. Exactly what was Labour's popularity at the last election? Oh yes, they won an election with 35.2% of the popular vote, where 61% of the electorate turned out. So that means, in reality, that an even smaller amount of people actually wanted ZaNuLabour back in power (21% of the electorate) than are willing to vote Tory, despite all the vote rigging and gerrymandering that had been going on. Some of the results were expected when there are so many areas where you could put a pile of dog manure up as a Labour candidate and it would still win (although, since the last General Election, they have lost some of these "safe" seats), but that doesn't alter the fact that just over a third of less than two-thirds of the electorate actually wanted Labour in power.
Look at that figure again, Michael, TWENTY ONE PERCENT of the electorate voted Labour. What does that say about the confidence the country had in Tory Bliar in 2005?
Oh, we ain't all right wing reactionaries, and if you had actually read the thread you would see that nobody was pinning the blame for the current worldwide economic meltdown on the one-eyed scottish idiot and his ilk. But there is no escaping the fact that it has been under his watch, and because of his decisions since 1997, the UK is in a worse state to weather the economic storm than most countries in the EU. And it has been stated by many respected organisations for years that the black hole in the country's finances was growing because of his "Borrow and Spend" policies. It's pretty sad that chances are 82% of the UK GDP is likely to be needed to pay for his borrowing, the country is effectively bankrupt, and only one person can be blamed for that.
Mr Herring fears the Chancellor will reduce the reliefs on pension contributions currently enjoyed by higher-rate taxpayers. Mr Herrring thinks the current 40 per cent tax relief for higher earners will be cut to the 20 per cent which applies to basic rate taxpayers.
2) An increase in pensions contributions for higher earners in the public sector.
Another measure that would hit MIddle England. Mr Herring says: "The size of the tax burden is going to grow massively and the Chancellor may well feel he has to ensure that the wealthier shoulder a greater part of it."
Another tempting target because it can raise large amounts of money.
Mr Herring says: "All of these measures would produce a lot of pain for the inhabitants of MIddle England, but the Chancellor has got to raise a huge amount of monery to finance his spending plans."
I'll admit to not having a fully developed sense of how to run a country's finances but could somebody please explain one thing.
Why the f#ck did the government cut VAT?!
It seems to me that this latest shortfall of about £36 Billion is not far off the amount they threw away by cutting VAT!
A mass resignation of all MP's should save quite a lot.
More fiddles than Mantovani's orchestra!

Not really. They were brieifing it as a £12 Billion shortfall back in January. Surely it's increased since then.
Even if it hasn't increased (due to them using some financial wizardry that I clearly don't understand) it's still a hell of a lot of money that I don't think has done anything to help anyone. Unless I'm missing something!

Indian High Commission officials in Pakistan denied access to visiting Sikh pilgrims
by Phillip Cunningham | November 23, 2018 | 17:59
Amid there is a big tribute for the Sikh pilgrims that India and Pakistan will be united for them.
". We have approached and urged the Pakistan government to recognise the sentiments of Sikh community and build a corridor with suitable facilities in their territory to facilitate easy and smooth visits of pilgrims from India to Kartarpur Sahib throughout the year", he said.
Prime Minister Imran Khan will lay the foundation stone for the corridor on the Pakistani side on November 28, while on November 26, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh and President Ramnath Kovind will do the same on the Indian side.
He also appealed to the Pakistan government to reciprocate the Indian government's great initiative and respect the sentiments of the Sikh "Sangat" all across the world in this regard.
Kartarpur is located in Shakargarh in Narowal district of Pakistan's Punjab. The 550th birth anniversary of the revered Sikh figure is next year. It is where Baba Guru Nanak settled down after his travels as a missionary.

Even though Pakistan, on 19 September, had claimed that there was no formal communication with India regarding the construction of the Kartarpur Corridor, The Express Tribune reported that Pakistan has made a decision to begin the project later this month.
In a joint statement, the Leader of Opposition in Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Harpal Singh Cheema and chief spokesperson MLA Baljinder Kaur, also appealed to the Centre to simplify visa requirements to visit other religious places in Pakistan as well.
Pakistan has also chose to open the corridor on its side of the border and Prime Minister Imran Khan will lay the foundation stone this month, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in a Tweet.
"The Government of India has been oscillating on its position on the opening of the Kartarpur corridor". Pakistan welcomes the Sikh community to Pakistan to celebrate the auspicious day.
Calling the Indian cabinet decision a victory for the peace lobby in both countries, Pakistan Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry said New Delhi's move was an endorsement of Islamabad's proposition on the issue. He had also said that Pakistan has shown "positive intent" in providing access to the historic shrine.

I was born in Scotland in 1969 and emigrated with my family at the age of 11 to Brisbane. My first experience with taking photos was a couple of years earlier, using a small compact film camera around the docks of Aberdeen. I had no idea what I was doing, but was thrilled when I got the film developed and I could see the results of my adventures around Aberdeen. Hard to believe I actually walked 3km from my Grandparents to the city centre all by myself at the age of 9. How times have changed.
It wasn't until much later, in 2006 in fact, on the return trip from a holiday back to Scotland I bought my first Canon DSLR. I still didn't know what I was doing, but have since and continue to, spend countless hours learning all I can about the art of taking photos.

The Royal (2003–2011)
The building used for the setting of the hospital (externally) is actually a residential property on Scarborough's south cliff esplanade. It's split into flats and cottages.
The house used for Dr Ormerod and Dr Wetherill's home is a residential property situated directly opposite St Mary's Church in Scarborough and has panoramic views of the North Bay from its garden which can be seen in an episode where they have a garden party.
Robert Daws (Dr. Gordon Ormerod) & Wendy Craig (Matron) also worked together on episode 5.5, Death in Paradise: Lost Identity (2016), of Death in Paradise (2011) as John Green / Marcus Knight & Mary Goodman respectively.
Scott Taylor who plays ambulance driver Frankie Robinson is in fact an ambulance driver in real life.
Due to the extremely violent ending of the fourth season episode "Sins of the Father", in which a young man kills his father in self-defence to protect his mother from being abused by him again, TVO did not rerun Season Four. Rather, they reran the series they aired immediately after the season of "The Royal" had ended early, and then reran the same series at the scheduled time, thereby filling the empty airspace.

Throughout the month of February, visitors to Taronga Western Plains Zoo will have the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes and see the new state-of-the-art elephant facility.
A guided tour of the facility will take place at 11:45am daily in February, led by one of the Zoo's Elephant keepers. The tour will give visitors the chance to see not only this new facility but what is behind-the-scenes and where the elephants will sleep at night.
The new $4.3 million project has been under construction for the past 12 months, with the finishing touches being added in early 2015.
"This is a great opportunity to tour the new elephant facility prior to the elephants arriving from Taronga Zoo in the first half of 2015," said Supervisor, Jennifer Conaghan.
"Visitors are not required to book in for this tour, simply visit the Zoo and be at the African Viewing shelter at 11:45am", said Jennifer.
The tour is free of charge and will take place at 11:45am daily. The meeting point for this tour is at the African Elephant viewing shelter.

It's the CHARACTERS, dude!
So I've been writing again. Knocked out something like seven thousand words last weekend on my vampire detective sequel to something that hasn't been published yet. (I wrote three shortish stories that told detective Rick Striker's story and collected them as The Striker Files; they total about 25,000 words and the collection also contains a bonus short story called "Garage Sale.") I have an untitled, ~60K work done which is a sequel to those short stories. I'm still making corrections and stuff, but it's basically ready to publish except for a cover and a good title. And I started a third in the series, this one set in Paris. I had a general idea of where I was going with it, but was having trouble with the specifics. Then I read something (on Wikipedia, of all places!) that gave me a good idea and I'm running with it!
So anyway, as I'm writing, I'm also reading. I'm on a horror binge right now, thanks the new discoveries like Ray Garton (well, he wasn't really new — I had his book Live Girls in paperback, but it was the only thing I'd read by him) and Duncan Ralston. Their also-bots have led me to a handful of different reads, as have some of the Facebook Horror Readers and Writers groups I frequent.
So I thought I'd talk about a couple of them. Specifically, Glenn Rolfe, Sea Caummisar, and Sam West. Each had an interesting premise. In Rolfe's The Window, demons that inhabit reflective surfaces seduce vulnerable folks who are unhappy with how their lives are going. Specifically, they target families, because they want to come back to life in the bodies of the members of the family. In Caummisar's Games #1: New Year, three young women find themselves held captive and forced to participate in games where the result will be a tortuous punishment, but they don't understand why or know who has kidnapped them. Finally, in West's The Grindhouse Experience, a group of college kids sign up to be 'kidnapped' and taken to an extreme haunted house experience. The waiver they must sign to apply is quite frightening, listing all of the tortures that might be inflicted upon them as participants. And though they really don't expect to be selected, of course they are (because there would be no story if they weren't).
These three reads emphasized the importance of character to me. I personally think I do okay with characters. I think a reader of my fiction will end up caring about the people I write about. (If I'm wrong, use the comments to discuss or shoot me an email via the contact form under that menu tab at the top.) I especially like writing about kids, and I think I do an okay job with them.
Glenn Rolfe is someone who can handle writing about young people. His main character is a junior high kid named James who's been forced to move away from his friends and his father after a divorce. He hates his step-dad and isn't happy with his mother. He's been dragged away from his best buddies and his friend's sister, who he's infatuated with (in his eyes, it's LOVE!), and she with him. When the opportunity to spend the rest of the summer with his father, he is thrilled! But at his father's, he finds a situation sown with discontent and simmering disappointment between Allison, his father's live-in girlfriend, and his father. And that's where the demons find their point of entry.
I cared about Rolfe's characters almost immediately, from page 1 until the end. And I cared about all of them, not just James. I felt like they were real. I knew them as well as I could know a fictional character, and I wanted to know what was going to happen to them. I could say the same thing about all of my favorite books. There have been rare exceptions, almost always in the science-fiction genre, where I connect less with the characters and more with the overarching idea that is being developed. But those books usually aren't my favorite books. The best ones are the ones that combine the two. When the book is over, regardless of the situation which has just been resolved, I want to know more about James and his friends.
By contrast, I never cared that much about the characters in Caummisar's Games #1. The reader is introduced to three young women who are partying for New Year's Eve, and one of them (especially) is pretty depressed and ends up getting very drunk. When they catch a ride home, the driver doesn't take them home but sedates them by injection and brings them to an abandoned storage locker where he restrains them with cuffs and chains and forces them to play various games. The punishment for not playing is worse than the punishment for losing.
It's a pretty good story, with plenty of themes at play that give it a richness that it otherwise wouldn't have. The trouble was that I never felt that I knew Sarah, the main character, or either of her friends and I didn't really care much what happened to them throughout their ordeal. He tends to head-hop, not sticking to one point-of-view character. One paragraph might be from Amanda's point of view, the next from Angel's, and by chapter's end, we're in Sarah's head. I think it would have been more effective to stay in one of their heads, preferably Sarah's (because she's the main character). As it was, I never connected with any of them. I didn't feel their anger, their fear, their pain, their anything. It made an interesting situation into a lesser story. I'm not disappointed that I read it, but I can't say I'll rush right out and plunk down money on Games #2 (which was just released).
I moved from there to Sam West's The Grindhouse Experience. Right away I liked the characters I was reading about. The main character, Lucy, pulled me into her world right away as she resists signing up for the extreme haunted house experience after reading the waiver that they must sign to be selected. Her pre-law friend, the lovely Anoushka, argues that as a contract, the document is worthless; anyone could sue and win if they do any of the stuff specified in the waiver/contract to them, because one cannot consent to having illegal stuff done to themselves. In other words, if you consent to be murdered, it doesn't indemnify the murderer. They are still liable for their criminal acts.
Lucy intrigued me; she found herself in a difficult situation where she's in love with Anoushka's boyfriend, the handsome Mason, but finds herself paired with Rob, an obnoxious horror fan who basically ignores her, because he's crazy about Anoushka. I cared about her; I cared about all of them (except maybe Rob). It was a good story with a backstory about a horror filmmaker who partnered with a famous horror author, and whose son may or may not be responsible for creating the haunted house. Lucy is writing a thesis on the Grindhouse film genre, and that's the only thing that makes her even a little interested in the experience. She hopes to gain insight into the genre that will be useful in her paper.
This one was a very good story. It was the first thing I've read by Sam West, but I immediately followed it with another by her, called Strange Flesh. I won't go into it too much here except to say that the same strong characterization holds true for it also.
In my own current hot story, I am writing about vampires. I started this story back in the 1990's, writing about a detective who is looking for a missing girl. His search leads him to a club called Skid Row, and he encounters something he doesn't expect — heck, he doesn't even believe in — vampires. In my world, vampires are really beautiful or handsome. They're not all that unlikable, except they want to keep their existence a secret, and my detective is threatening that secrecy.
I started with a character — a hard-boiled detective, Rick Striker — who is straight out of a noir film. I kept the story focused on him, and told it through his eyes. I try to get people to connect to him by using a first person narrative to keep the reader in his head and to allow them to know him well. I hope it works. I followed it up with the story of how the missing girl, Lisa Warwick, goes missing in the first place. Then I returned to Rick for a third short story in which he must confront his vampire nemeses. Those three stories make up The Striker Files, a collection that's published as a Kindle ebook for the expensive price of $0.99.
Even though it doesn't sell, I wrote a novel set in their universe, and I won't spoil it but Rick again features as one of the main characters. I head-hop more in this one, but it is a chapter by chapter head-hopping — I don't switch POV characters from paragraph to paragraph. I think that it's harder to connect with a character when you switch it up too much, so I try to limit my POV changes to the bad guys (in third person) and the foil, Lisa Warwick's best friend Megan Woods (also third person) while Rick is still written in first person.
I'm at work on a followup to that unreleased novel, set in Paris, and again with the same sort of head hopping. Besides Rick, this one also has the French characters, Megan Woods and the bad guys as point of view characters.
I like the characters, and I think others would enjoy them too. It would be nice to find out!
Anyway, if you're a horror fan, go grab those books listed above. They're all good reads, though I liked two of them more than the third.
