LOL -When I think how much time the sales lady stayed on the phone trying to sell me PPI. She just would not accept my 'not interested'. I gave up & put the phone down. I was so right. ;-)
Just seen another one, the new cordless Vax....that makes out those of us who use a corded vacuum cleaner are making a rod for out own backs and living in the Stone Age. Grrr
HATE the Barclays advert with "teaching your kids code"....Boring...annoying and above all patronizing to the hilt...trying to make you feel guilty for not enrolling your kid on this shitty course!!
Also, just come across the Shreddies advert with the grannies with the song "This is how we do it" or whatever it's called...when are Shreddies going to axe the whole old women knitting the shreddies, does my bloody head in
How dare they try to encourage education? my kids are going to be lazy simpletons who just stuff their faces in front of the TV all day with no hope or future

Lol, like Barclays give a toss about education - they're in the business of making money and just tug at the heartstrings so you deposit all your cash in one of their bank accounts and make a heap of dosh with it while paying you sod all interest:D
Besides, coding is easy: Software Engineering is hard. So they'll probably end up teaching kids Python, or PHP, or whatever language is in vogue, but I doubt they teach them how to put it all together and maybe innovate themselves
That howling, whining voice, terrible song, terrible advert
I, yiyiyiyiyiyiyiy believe in yewewewewew and I, yiyiyiyiyiyiyiy believe in yewewewewew, dew wew wew dew wer wew wew>:(>:(>:(
Theres a growing amount of adverts using this generic whistling music in the ad. I can't remember the adverts out of the top of my head but I think IKEA and various furniture shops use this music in their ads.

Completely agree about those Barclays adverts they are the worst adverts by far at the moment. Load of rubbish and incredibly annoying also they are on constantly, the recent ones are as bad as those ridiculous and patronising life skills ads.

Is that the one where a little girl talks about moon walking in the most ridiculous child's voice I've ever heard?!
It literally makes me cringe, and if I can, I hit the mute button before I have to hear her!
Was watching the TV and an advert came on for an over cleaner product, and don't ask me why, but suddenly I remember that there was an advert a few years back that was the most sexist TV advert since the 70's
Amazingly this got 673 complaints to the ASA (and I believe it was the most complained about ad of 2009), who claimed it was light hearted and could continue to be aired.
What are the chances that if the roles were reversed but still advertising Oven Pride cleaner, would the ASA have said 'calm down its all a bit of fun'?

I have the Dyson and I love it.

Don't they ever make any new ones. We'll have the two awful duffers wittering about "What sort of cheese was that" again. >:( >:(
Come on, Specsavers. Make some new ads. Don't be so shortsighted ;-)

Plus - a perfume ad with Hendrix's 'All Along The Watchtower'? - **** no! Who authorised this?!?
Sounds so forced.
"Sloives of Empoire!"....I won't watch any of it after hearing Julie Walters screaming that out loud, so many times!
It literally makes me cringe, and if I can, I hit the mute button before I have to hear her!

Dreadful.
The Osbourn woman with her grinning face makes it even worse.
I cannot express how much I hate the sound that woman makes when she is doing the eyes thing.
Same here..........>:(>:(
