However, I can imagine that the blue-ness of them helped persuade Barclays to stump up the cash.
People moan about businesses not giving anything back and then they moan about them paying for public facilities or concert halls. You can't have it both ways.
Maybe I got over paranoid about the blue but please don't think these corporations are 'giving' anything. When you give something to somebody, do you plaster 'given by BlueQuinn' all over it? No, because that's not 'giving'!
It's corporate branding - all over our city, our country and our lives. I'm no raving marxist - far from it! - but it makes me angry.
