If it looks too good to be true . .

​​Impossible not to be impressed with this ad on Bing, showing somewhere 'near' Scarborough as some sort of semi-tropical paradise. I wonder what those islands are—maybe the result of sea level rise? Or perhaps this is a Scarborough somewhere in the Caribbean? Anyway, with images like these no wonder people often jet off on holiday with inflated expectations of their hotel, etc., (suffice to say this is not the Travelodge in Scarborough). Perhaps a reference to Trading Standards is called for? I realise of course that this kind of ad is endemic, across services and products. It’s just ‘generic.’
