Help us out and win an Amazon gift certificate.
The Nordic VisitBritain blog gets more and more visitors every day. This is of course great and makes us want to improve it further. We now feel that the next step is to put a proper name on it. So far it has been called “Mind The Gap” in reference to the speaker message in the London underground.
The problem is there are several other blogs called “Mind The Gap”. We want to stand out! But instead of busting our own brains trying to come up with a good name, we thought we would pick yours instead!
So, what would YOU like to name our blog? Something fun, quirky and unique that goes along with the main purpose of VisitBritain: To inspire people to explore Britain. The person who comes up with the best suggestion wins a £100 gift certificate at Amazon.com.
This competition is open to everyone! Please write your suggestion and e-mail in the comment field of this blog post. The jury consists of us here at the Nordic VisitBritain office and the competition ends at the 1st of June. We will contact the winner via the e-mail provided – we will not use it for any other purpose and it won’t show in the commentary field.
Good luck and thanks for your help!

Boy it’s tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn’t shine and a boy needs a girl
It’s about getting out of a rut, you need luck
But you’re stuck and you don’t know how, oh
(Don’t have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don’t have to drive) A super car to get far
(Don’t have to live) A life of power and wealth
(Don’t have to be) Beautiful but it helps
(Don’t have to buy) A house in Beverly Hills
(Don’t have to have) Your daddy paying the bills
(Don’t have to live) A life of power and wealth
(Don’t have to be) Beautiful but it helps
You need more
Than a big blank check to be a lover, or
A Gulfstream jet to fly you door to door
Somewhere chic on another shore
You need more You need more You need more
You need more You need more You need more
You need love

Furthermore “Bigger than Ben” is a statement: In spite of nowadays “tribalism”: “We are all one!”
It can also be seen as Visitbritains reply to the “Anyone but England”- campaign in Scotland, Wales and North Ireland in these days of footballfever.
Britain – that´s it !
Dear competitiors
So far we have received hundreds of name suggestions. Thank you all ever so much for your creative thinking and hard work – we love the enthusiasm! We would like to have a list of ten alternatives to let the jury choose from and so far we have six alternatives we really like:
1. Albion Happenings
2. Brit-Bits
3. Look Right
4. Looks Like Rain
5. Tea Time
6. Ticket to Ride
7.
8. -
9. -
10. -
Do you think you have a better name for our blog than any of these six? Please write your suggestion and e-mail in the comment field of this blog post. The competition is open until Sunday the 20:th of June 2010.
Thanks for your help!
/Carl
I think that my suggestion – The Village Green – should be among the “finalists”.
The Village Green is typically British. This common open area is often used for community events. The green is at a central location and provides an open-air meeting place for the people.
Isn’t this a perfect description “Mind the Gap” of today?
