TWO more billboards for the Emirates airline have been put up with the name of the wrong town as part of the advertisement.
A billboard outside the Co-Op on the A259 in Newhaven mistakenly reads “Lewes, you’re closer than you think to cocktail hour” while a board on the A259 Church Road in Portslade says the same but with Hove listed instead.
On June 3 The Argus reported on a billboard in Brighton which bore the same slogan but it read Brentwood by mistake – an Essex town more than 58 miles away.
A spokesman for Emirates said: “Unfortunately, an administrative error meant that incorrect artwork was supplied. We are sorry for the error and the posters in question are being removed.”
