Go Debs!!!Very much looking forward to seeing you on BBC. I feel very honoured & humbled to have someone as strong as you to be our voice!
I think we need to remember that lack of sales will reflect in the money available for the charities.
Get someone that can make a difference and the money needed for the research - even Katie wont begrudge that!
Sincerity please to all the lovely people stricken with cancer and the respect will follow.
Thank you, Debs, for having the courage of your and our convictions. Like the others I look forward to seeing you on Monday!
It all reminds me of when I was in a women’s group in the 80s and we had to decide whether or not to accept finance from a well known multi-national that supplied baby milk. It would have financed a worker. But it didn’t sit happily with our values and we thought it wouldn’t respect the women who volunteered with us and those we served. Also, we didn’t like the thought of the adverse publicity if/when it got public! Those were the days …!!!

Debs, a huge thank you! I appreciate what you are doing and will watch the programme when I get home from work.
I’m not overly impressed with the responses we’ve had because they don’t address the issues adequately. I’m sorry that Katie Price’s Mum’s friend has BC which raises questions yet again as to how she could have made the comments she did. Someone astute, aware and very supportive of this campaign wouldn’t have been caught off guard in such a way because those comments wouldn’t have even entered their head.
Eliza, your comments about the women’s group you were a member of reminds me very much of where I come from too. Money for a campaign should be money from a source that matters, cares, understands and has principles about the campaign. It should be something we’re proud of. What I’ve seen this year leaves me ashamed that this is what we’ve come down to.
Pink has always been a problem … tickled pink expresses the problem very well indeed!
I am posting this on behalf of new user sharon.
go debs really proud of you. this should have never happened in the first place, what where they thinking.
Just seen this on the sun website…
thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/2656020/Jordan-dropped-from-Asda-cancer-ads.html
That is so weird - there is a post by asda last night at 17.51 that i don’t remember seeing - although i do remember the posts around about it… :o

Yes, I didn’t see the Asda comment until later. Perhaps it was waiting to be authorised by a moderator and then appeared in its correct time-slot?
Wow, just read the asda comment and the article on the sun website.
Well done Ladies, particularly Debs, it’s great that we are being listened to and it goes to show what a great facility this forum is! Not just in offering support but in getting action where it matters! Keep up the support and good work. You are all an inspiration.
With love to everybody on here, I am proud to be connected to you all (in more ways than just through the internet!)
Enjoy your weekends
Nicky
Well done to debs who started the thread and debsfromcornwall for being bold enough to contact and take part in the BBC Breakfast programme.
Irene
Well done all …just goes to show how powerful this forum is !!!
I for one am dare I say it “TICKLED PINK”
Come on ladies we deserve a pat on the back particularly those who are in the spotlight in all this xxx
Debs, you are a superstar, well done, I will have to record it on Monday as Ive got radiotherapy first thing but a big well done to you and look forward to seeing you on tv.
a big well done to everyone with this, I emailed asda, still waiting on a reply!!!
Love
Carol xx
RESULT !!!
Well done Debs and everyone else. Am still waiting for a reply to my email …maybe they have been snowed under…
Thanks Theresa for the Sun link…I’m guessing someone from BCC and Asda may be asked for their opinion on the Breakfast programme…I really hope we don’t get something along the lines of the reply by the Press Office in this thread. I don’t want to knock BCC, I wouldn’t be posting here without their marvellous forums and although I’ve not used any other of their services I know they are a Godsend. But I just hope BCC along with Asda will now see the strength of opinions and feelings shown here…like Debs has said some of us have felt the Tickled Pink approach just wasn’t right for years and we’ve not really been listened to in the past.

Wonder if this had anything to do with Asdas decision on KP.
