Ok. I will answer your points. However, if you wish to continue mocking my and others ideas, then please take it to PM or another thread elsewhere. There is a time and a place for this.

I'm not your mate and get real Magnatom, how the hell are you going to convey a ''serious'' message by having Take That playing as the music or portraying a lorry driver as a grim reaper. Congrats on labelling every lorry driver in the country as a grim ripper/person solely responsible for left hooks. (not you I know but I hope you understand the point I am making)
No I don't understand. The reason I don't understand is that I have been the one stressing collaboration with HGV drivers. Go and look at the original thread. So I have no idea what that has to do with me. Show me where I have even hinted that HGV drivers are grim reapers. Go and look at any other post I have ever made about HGV drivers on this forum. I can almost guarantee you that I have said that in general, they are the best drivers.
Yes I agree that in hindsight that Take That isn't a good idea, however, your method of saying this, is nothing short of a put down; the sort of methodology of someone who never uses positive criticism.
While I do appreciate other peoples ideas it just annoys me when people start suggesting utter crap that is neither workable, practical or helpful.
That's a bit sad if people providing ideas be they practical, ultimately useful or not, annoys you. It is comments like this that put people off making public their ideas. It stifles creativity. Part of my job is to continually solve problems, and come up with ideas, some novel and some unusual. Others are encouraged to do the same. To innovate. To successfully innovate, you have to come up with lots of ideas, some that might seem daft as well as those that are instantly practical.
A hoover where you can see the dirt you suck up! Yuck! That'll never catch on...
Look at other safety campaigns/videos. They are all without music and they are all as close to realism as you can possibly get with the ONLY focus being on the message that they are trying to portray.
If you look at the more recent posts you will see that that is the idea we have come to focus on. So was there any need to take the make a fool of other people by mocking their ideas?
Lee, I am not saying that the substance of your posts isn't often valid, but your method of conveying your ideas, i.e. mocking others doesn't do you any favours. I'm sure you aren't, but it makes you come across as a playground bully, IMO.
