Script in English
SFX: Shop ambience.
Shop assistant (shouting across shop): Mr Johnson, I’ve got someone here applying for a Vodafone offer, he wants to use a Man United scarf as proof, can we accept that?
Mr Johnson: No. Any tattoos?
Shop assistant: Any tattoos?
Man: Err, not really. I have got a sort of patch of eczema on my hip. It’s quite red.
Shop assistant: Can I see that?
Man: Yeah. Look, some people say it looks a bit like Ryan Giggs.
Shop assistant: Yeah, I can see what you’re saying, but no.
Man: But look it…
Shop assistant: Sorry love, nothing doing.

Brief Explanation
This campaign ran on Century FM - a radio station in the North West of England that covers the big football matches. Playing off Vodafone's sponsorship of Manchester United F.C., it highlighted the fact that you don't have to be a Man Utd fan to take advantage of Vodafone's 15% line discount offer. The executions featured various scenarios where people were trying to prove they were fans of Manchester United.
