The team behind a multi-million pound rebranding exercise for Suffolk tourism were astonished when the county council rejected their <i>Go Suffolk Yourself</i> theme.</b>

Officials deemed the phrase inappropriate and not in keeping with the county's history, and instead selected the more austere <i>Visit Suffolk</i> phrasing.



FancyDan PR spokesman Greg Phillips said: "I don't know what's Suffolking problem with it, to be quite honest.

 "It's Suffolking great place to grow up and raise a family. It's got the seaside, the countryside, markets to get your trinkets and doo dahs. I thought our logo summed that up perfectly."

Project director Sally Hughes added: "I've lived here my whole life and wouldn't change it for the world. There's Norfolking way I'd want to leave."

Hadleigh-based FancyDan PR was chosen to work on the £2,000,000 rebrand after success on a similar project in Yorkshire and the Humber, where their <i>We Put The C*nt in Scunthorpe</i> tourism campaign won several national awards.
