I used to get overly worried by the Scottish Widows adverts. Did they really only offer their services to widows from Scotland? What if you were a widowER from Scotland, or an English Widow? If they were only for Scottish Widows, why did they bother advertising in England at all? And really, how were they still in business with such a restrictive customer base?
