CILLITBANG's a joke If your hose was that dirty you would move, or you'd died.

Nothing can be three shades lighter.

Shades are darker. tones are lighter.

The one with the opera singer (Go compare?) really turns me off.
And adverts that only give the name of the product for half a second at the end so you don't know what they were advertising in the first place.

That's as bad as vans plastered with the name of the company e.g. Jones & Son, with a phone number, but nothing to tell you what trade they are in.

TUI advert does my head in.

Used to go on holiday with Thomsons but that advert has put me right off the company now.

The PPI ones and the ones reminding you you are going to die so should plan your funeral.

Dear Elizabeth

Hello

The advert I like the most is the one with the little penguin, reaching for his mobile phone to get the boiler fixed!

He then crosses this off his list on the fridge door and next he wants to take flying lessons and call his mum.

Take gentle care
Best wishes

That B****y Boots opticians one with that silly *** saying she should wear glasses but she doesn't think they suit her. My glasses don't suit me completely but at least I can see straight and they help me preserve my eyesight :-| :-| :-|.

Should have gone to Spec savers.

How much of the cost of the advertisements is built into the cost of the product ? 100%

That creepy advert where blue men jump out of posters and follow people about.
