We had godawful muzak on tapes when I worked at Little Chef in the mid 90s. The tapes had the music recorded slowly, so if you tried to replace the tape with your own, it played too fast. Each side of each tape lasted 40 mins, the idea being that when customers heard the same songs again, they'd hopefully piss off.

However, given that they'd step foot inside my restaurant in the first place meant that I wanted to kill them anyway.

(I hated that job. Ungrateful gets the lot of them!)


And even when you mute it, you can still hear it in your head!


It was never funny to begin with. Why do they keep peddling it?


A less funny version of someone who was never funny. How they managed that, I'll never know!


But they've not aged a day!!

I have just seen a weird advert about Yorkshire Bank with kids running about singing Doo Wop Doo we Doo. Very annoying

I agree with all of the above. I just want to slap that woman in the Galaxy ad.
She just gets in a car with a complete stranger, and sits there eating a Galaxy on a seemingly hot day, but no chocolatey mess. Meanwhile the driver is probably a murderer.

A new one I don't like is the Crunchie one where the woman's mouth goes peculiar, and somebody very common shouts 'obey your mouth'.

I hate all ads. There are no funny ones anymore.

'YBS' - I'm sure the doctor gave me something for that last week!

Tesco

Who on earth drives all the way back to the shop to change one fruit for another because they have changed their minds.

I came here just to post about this!

Aside from the fact that nobody in their right mind would drive all the way back to tesco to swap a watermelon for a pineapple and waste time/petrol etc...

What's perhaps more annoying is the horrifically wooden acting from these two twerps and just how shit it is generally.

It blows my mind to think somebody was actually paid to come up with this utter crock of shit and even worse somebody at tesco blindly approved it - if I was the guy in charge of approving materials like this I'd literally laugh at it and instantly say "that's absolute bollocks you must be joking mate, get out" yet someone obviously approved it!

On a side note a quick search on Twitter shows that this is universally hated and perhaps more worryingly (for tesco) causing confusing as many people wonder if the returned watermelon would be resold.

Dear me tesco, what a load of ill conceived shite!

Bring back the son

The adverts might improve

Very annoying indeed.

Also, it comes across as if it's an advert for a theme park or some sort of kids' entertainment product and then ends up being for the most mundane thing in the world: a bank.

If I was a kid and I saw an advert featuring kids dressed up as astronauts with laser guns walking on an alien planet; chasing each other in little police cars around a fake city; controlling a robot in a science lab; and so on, all fun and happy and musical, I would be gutted if that advert then turned out to be for something completely non-child related.

The GTech air ram! GRR! It's in nearly every ad break and now he's trying to flog his £1000 bike!

What is the song played on the Sky fibre ad ?

I quite like it......the song not the ad.

Take that back now!

I thought it would be better now he's gone but no ... it's worse.

"Come and Get Your Love" - Redbone (1974)

Betsafe. The smug bitch saying 'I take from many, to give to the few', and many such statements. (Maybe, just maybe, it's meant to put people off betting.)

Does anyone here know the girl wearing glasses who stars in the Sky Fibre advert and also the two women in the Smart Energy advert where the girl is getting her wedding dress fitted

Amazon ad, an elderly man playing with his granddaughter, the song includes the lyrics "I'm a man and I can't help but love you so" - seems a little inappropriate, no?!

Well, it was sort of already done in Dr Who - except it was Bluetooth devices not headphones - can't remember the name of the episode but it was David Tennant era and the aliens were Cybermen.

I hate ALL adverts on TV except the Cadbury's cat and dog/Barry White one which makes me smile every time I see it, though I haven't seen it for ages.

Thank you

Any eon advert. They owe me money and don't even have a free phone number.

There was a thread on this in General Discussion and no any fresh produce that is returned will not be re-sold to the public. Mainly because it is not known what the customer did with it or to it when they took it home. Also anything that is kept refrigerated or frozen won't be re-sold either due to the fact it would have been unchilled for a time and they can't take the risk of putting it back on the shelves.

So what exactly will Tesco do with this food when it's returned, throw it away?

Oft mentioned on here for the length of time it's been running and the number of times it's shown a day, there's a GTech lawnmower now as well as the bike!

Meanwhile the EDF ad where a bunch of strangers show up demanding to look at the home owners energy bills. Isn't there a law against that kind of thing?

I see that soppy bint is trying to persuade another family member to buy one of those funeral money plan things (Sun Life?).

I'd be seriously worried if I were related to her...

I looked at that bike and then I thought, "How many bus journeys could I make for that and in the dry without lorries and motorist out to get me and that without having the cost of replacing the battery, which remember is only good for 30 miles on a charge when new"

have you tried http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php even when it doesn't throw up a free phone number it might at least give a regional one, which is good if one has free calls

very likely, and then add the cost of that policy to the prices of their products, so that we are paying for air-heads who don't know what they are doing and can't make up their minds.
A bit like companies with 0800 Tel.Nr.s; those who do book their services are paying for all the people who have phone them up and then don't use them, some one has to pay the cost and one can guess that it doesn't come out of the companies profits, they aren't charities

don't go telling people that, how else do you think that we can case someone's home, oops what a give away
