Three and Virgin Holidays take to Twitter to continue cheeky 'sorry' campaign
Three has responded to Virgin Holiday's cheeky hi-jack of its #holidayspam campaign, which suggested that those on holiday should not apologise for sending holiday snaps out via social channels.
In a Twitter post, Three said "We take full responsibly for @VirginHolidays spin-off advertising campaign."

Virgin then sent it's own reply, created by M&C Saatchi and Lida, showing the famous dancing pony from Three's ad enjoying a summer break.
