I got the shock of my life when I arrived for work this morning, to see this enormous red hot air balloon floating outside our offices at The Trafford Centre!
GIANT: The Redrow balloon
It’s our 11th birthday today, so my first thought was: Someone’s got us a birthday balloon!
Of course, I had been warned that the homes specialists Redrow were bringing a hot air balloon – but I’ve never seen one up close, and had no idea they were so large!
I met some customers out in the car park at lunch, who told me excitedly that they’d just been up in the balloon.
‘Did you get a good view of the Centre?’ I asked.
“Nah!” they sniffed – “We only went up about eight feet!”
Health and safety clearly applies as much in the air as it does on the ground…
The eye-catching behemoth will be promoting first-time buys and part-exchange deals on homes for the rest of the day – so if you fancy a go in a hot air balloon (just not very high!) then get yourself down to car park Regent 13 now!
