Absolutely unreal tonight whilst watching the end of the transfer window on sky sports news. Literally the same six adverts every advert break and different variations of that stupid Numan advert. I felt like chucking something at the TV

I hate all those bank adverts where they say they want to hug your breath away and how they're bringing the world together in understanding and love, with their overdrafts.

Thing is though, for the past few years I don't start watching anything until 15 minutes after it starts. Then I chase play it on the Sky box so I can f-fwd through any ads. If it's a film, half an hour after. Can't do this with freeview, I know. Some ad breaks on Dave are 10 minutes long. Modern tecnology can be great!

The McDonald's radio advert... "Daaaaaad, I've finished the caaaar, can I have my allowance?"

This advert has been going on for at least six years and that kid's voice gets more and more irritating the more I hear it

The new John Lewis home contents insurance ad.

Little boy, dressed as a girl, running around the house in a precocious, dramatic way causing stains spills and damage everywhere he goes.

Is this the first woke conscious ad shamelessly ~~exploiting~~ encouraging gender fluid behaviour in children?

Hmmm yes I have to say that i've picked up in the last year or two that seemingly every advert is geared to include some "Diversity" in one way shape or form but often more than one.
I have no objection to being inclusive and agree that adverts like everything else should be inclusive and representative of the population as a whole however I did sit last night and yet again consciously thought to myself that as a white middle aged heterosexual man I don't actually feel represented by adverts or seemingly by much else these days

Adverts reflect the racial profile of Peckham, not England. Thing is, do you ever buy anything you see in an advert? No, me neither, maybe that's why they're stuffing black, gay trans etc. people in ads - maybe they do buy things they see advertised?

Pulled as it suggests that you'll be covered for deliberate damage, when you wont.

The Highway Agency "go left" advert has resurfaced with a vengeance, on the radio recently (on Classic fm recently it was quite literally in every ad break).

What really grates for me is the pronunciation

One line: " .......indicators ON"

Next line which should rhyme:

"......at the next JUNCSHUN.......".

I now switch the radio off every time.

I think it was withdrawn under the grounds it was misleading as the insurance doesn't cover damage that involves children knocking over lamps or drawing on walls.

Not sure how they get away with the 7, or is it 10 day return period, law states 14.

No idea why you would buy a car you have not seen or driven, especially one that comes through " webuyanycar" . That and fiddling auctions to cherry pick the ones they want as BCA run the whole show.

This made me laugh, a fella from Birmingham turned up out of the blue to see a car in Essex, my son said why come so far, and he replied, " would you buy a car in Birmingham? "
Fair point. No we would not.

My argument has always been against Dior Sauvage with Johnny Depp. Probably cost a few million to get Depp, probably a million to design the bottle and to have the fragrance approved by a panel, but the ingredients cost about £2. One of the most popular fragrances of the last 10 years and IMO it's pretty much one note (ambroxan).

If a business wants to market their products in the UK, make a UK advert!

Or at least do an English voice over.

Think the one you mean is the "Perfect" advert which doesn't use supermodels but let's say "Quirky" looking people all claiming to be "perfect"
