If I sent you this graphic in an email to promote my business, you’d possibly think I was either mad, or of extremely low intelligence. What’s more, with some of the acknowledged great cities of the world not having the letter “A” in their name – London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, Beijing, Delhi, Mexico City, Toronto, Moscow, Edinburgh, Berlin, Rome, Boston - I could go on – you really would question the use of this at all, apart from irritation that I sent it to your in-box in the first place. At the time I wrote this, it had been doing the rounds on facebook courtesy of Power 95.3 Radio, with the statement “ This one is hard ” (I'd hate to see something they class as easy) added by the social network manager at the station. It had received no fewer than 260,000 ‘comments’ and, believe it or not, 30,000 ‘likes’ – that’s over a quarter of a million people reached, many presumably of average or better intelligence, who thought it worthy of sharing this nonsense...
