The very fact it's talked about will be enough for them. They won't care a darn that we all hate their loathsome ads.

Agreed that ad has really passed its sell by date. Can't Galaxy afford a new one?

We have a local one for a sunbed place, the jingle goes...

"Taaaans, tanning into the future"

I burst out laughing when I first heard it. Now it makes me want to step out of the car and keep walking till my shoes disintegrate

Proud to say I haven't shopped at Tesco since those two/three started annoying us.

And the chance of me going back is zero to none. Advertising working for me

They never mention how long the battery lasts or how much replacement ones are. I'll bet they are not cheap!

I just saw today the V tech lawnmower. It does not need to be plugged in or to use petrol, but three hundred quid for a lawnmower. No thanks

why DO narrators on sports trails/ads ALWAYS have to shout, as my friend, a devotee of the Rev. Spooner, would say "Sprot is carp"

Another one drives a duster


After the Queen song

- Supermarkets trying to get middle class people to buy their food (Iceland and Lidl)
- The pretentiously quiet Waitrose ads, they make me cringe - especially the one with the Camembert

Any money supermarket ad. They always get it so wrong I will never buy from them. They have that awful x factor man, used to be on e 4. Makes my ears sick.

The Colgate ad with the smug models with huge luminescent straight white teeth.
They both remind of the Joker.

Actually if there must be ads, and I suppose there has to be, the Waitrose ads are how they should be. No earache music, no talk, no endorsement by a smug celeb and it doesn't think it's a sitcom like the Tesco ads.

I totally agree about the " No earache music", that is the main reason that I switch off the sound, I also hate the "Music" played in store, "Look you morons, I am trying to remember what I need to buy, OK so I can't concentrate with the noise, so I finish now and buy from a local shop that doesn't play that noise"

What supermarkets play music? None of the major ones I visit do. Tesco plays music in the entertainment section but that's about it.

to be honest I no longer shop in the big supermarkets, because of the "Music", I now shop online or from small local shops, I have noticed that my local Lloyds chemists no longer have "Radio Lloyds" playing

My local Tesco Extra now have a ghetto blaster stuck on a shelf near the front door which deafens everyone as they go in...why? Is this a new corporate initiative, someone on the board thinks this noise is a good thing?
Wrong.
Also my local big Halfrauds also insist in have a car radio at full blast filling the store with inane DJ prattle and awful music, which does not help you chose or buy the correct equipment for you car, at all.
Silly.

they are all the same, they have "Advisers" who have been to medya school the same as the ones who "Design" the ads "No the public HAVE to have music, or it doesn't work"
Oh for the days when shops and ads were much quieter, one of the side jobs that I had, like many in the acting/entertainment profession was working in a department store, yes the Gents' Outfitting and yes I WAS Mr.Lucas who was always chasing the girls, but we had NO stupid "Music" anywhere in the store, nor did any other store or shop, life was much more pleasant, I doubt that I could last more than a few hours in one of the ghastly noise shops.
I belong to an organisation call Pipedown, dedicated to getting rid of "Music" from shops and restaurants pubs.
As these stupid, usually younger people who don't seem to be able to live without their ears be assaulted my "Music" via their various devises, I think that there is the basis of a good Science Fiction, Dr.Who type play there, a foreign/alien power takes over the world by inserting brain washing messages into those devises, it shouldn't be too difficult I don't think that those head-phone wearing idiots have got very big brains to.wash.
Right that's it, I'm off to a deep bunker before the flack arrives from those who like their "Music" piped direct into their brains.

My small local Asda plays music. You can often see me jigging along the aisles to Olly Murs, Take That et al. A bit embarrassing as I'm nearly 70 years old!!
