An offshoot of Windsor soup is SPOOF. The Independent newspaper ran a story saying the sale of recipe books had declined.  Windsorsoup wrote saying people did not want fancy foreign cooking but Organic Old Foods and that they were using search engines to get the recipes. For instance they were told that if you go to Google and type Windsor Soup  and hit "I'm feeling  lucky " button you land in the soup. They replied.
But then Google changed  and typing "windsor soup " gave another site.  I complained. 
I wrote an email to Google saying that they should not let a Frenchman tell us how to cook windsor soup.
The email was clearly marked SPOOF but Google  replied!

Windsorsoup wrote thanking Google for their attention clearly as SPOOF.

Also SPOOF wrote to the Covent Garden Soup Company about the unavailability of the soup in their Soup shop in Windsor Royal station. They replied!. Later the shop shut. Connection?


That was in February.
In July our favourite netty nerdy mag (link on links Page) .Net magazine newsletter carried a thing saying join Google Adsense whatever that is.  So windsor soup  tried to join..
And Google rejected Windsorsoup! Cheek of it! Google wrote

 

Windsorsoup had warned Google about the Covent Garden soup company closing in Windsor.
And saying Arthur hoped nothing awful happened to Google when it refused to allow its ads on Windsorsoup. But it crashed at  end of July with a  virus attack. Windsor soup wrote quoting the newspaper report. To commiserate?

 Google got a lot of headlines with its flotation at the end of  August. One in the Sunday Telagraph was fascinating.  And the flotation was delayed. Windsor Soup wrote giving the reason as Googles refusal to allow the adverts.


Having removed the navi bar in the links page Google accepted Windsorsoup as part of its Adsense. Soop wrote congratulating Chris Google for having saved the company.


But they have been so nice Arthur had to write to say thanks. Especially when Chris was asked were to stick the ad and did not yield to temptation.

What is weird is the adverts themselves are all about voluntary service and illnesses and stuff.
Have a look then return to home page
