This is going to be the world’s most cryptic thread (for now). Let’s have some fun. I’ll rename it when someone finds it.
There is something new from Monzo out in the world (well… in the UK).
Lots of people will have already seen it. Many more will see it soon. What is it and who will be the first person here to take a photo?
Hint - it’s not a Monzo Plus card, although those are starting to show up too

Hmmm
I’m guessing the ‘category’ of ‘thing’ is paid advertising.
Are there any hot coral double deckers floating around?

Good guess, but nope. Although… I do seem to have that now (Staff only trial so far AFAIK, but I do have 5 points already)

Maybe it’s a TV ad or a cinema pre-roll?
(TV I’ll never spot & cinema would need to wait until next week #Endgame )

Photo suggests it’s physical, not in app, or online. A billboard ad? I think someone on here would have seen a TV ad already. Cinema ad is an interesting guess. Hmmmmmm

Since it’s something that can be taken as a photo, it suggests something in person.
I wonder if it’s advertising on the Birmingham “eyes” on the side of Grand Central / New Street station…

How many guesses are allowed?
Who will be the first… “Person to spot @simonb in a new Monzo ad during a ‘Pearl & Dean’ moment at the cinema?”
Who will be the first… “Person to spot @simonb in a new Monzo ad during a ‘make a brew’ moment during Coronation Street?”
Who will be the first… "Person to spot a hot coral bus/taxi//train carriage?’
Who will be the first… “Person to find the line of code in the app that gives it all away?” @nexusmaniac , obvs
Who will be the first… "Person to spot a Viola Black card in the wild in 3 months time?’
