A Welsh waste disposal company has cashed in on the recent UFO sightings in Cardiff by using its own ‘Alien Life Form’ to promote its green skip hire service.
ALF Viner, of GD Environmental Services in Newport, spent two days driving across South Wales dressed as a green alien in their famous Subaru skip car (as featured on the cover of The Skip, Issue 29). Alf, who’s now being referred to as an “Alien Life Form” by colleagues, spotted the opportunity to use the recent UFO sightings in a bold attempt to bolster sales for GD’s skip hire service.
Displaying a remarkable grasp of the English language, the outer-space visitor said: “It’s been a mad few days, I came into work yesterday and they had a tub of green body paint and some sponges. I knew it was going to be a long day! But it’s all been good fun and the amount of funny looks and positive comments we have received has been well worth the effort.”
GD Environmental says it has received over a hundred calls to its office from their latest promotion with the world’s fastest skip. Marketing Manager, Gerwyn Holmes, said:
“We have drummed up a tremendous amount of publicity over the last few days. Everyone in Cardiff is gripped by the recent UFO sightings and it’s been a great opportunity for us to boost sales during difficult times with the recent
credit crunch.”
The Welsh capital’s UFO frenzy began on the 7th June when three Welsh helicopter pilots claimed to have chased a UFO across the Bristol Channel. An official enquiry from the ministry of defence has begun into these peculiar sightings.
