You would think they would have a butler to push the granddaughter as they must be loaded.

LOL .. Yep, he had no problem then

There could also be a claim there. That could have blinded someone with her random flick

BIB .. For me it's that 2 postcodes are attached to my home so I cannot even join in

Yeah, I hate it. I hate how rude she is and how pleased she is with herself about it.

Rather like those loan adverts: 'We know you can't afford the loan because otherwise the bank would give you the money, but stuff it, take our dosh!!!'

Yeah, remember the first punk single wasn't by the "manufactured" Sex Pistols, but "New Rose" by the Damned. And there were a lot of good acts after that weren't punk
but were inspired by the movement, such as Elvis Costello, Kirsty MacColl and New Order.

It's a nice song, which is why I was annoyed to hear one of my least favourite companies use it.

Speaking of corporations appropriating former movements of youth protest, L'Oreal now has an (OK-ish) ad for a line of makeup called...Miss Hippie!

At least it's better than Pantene ad showing the blander than bland Ellie Goulding with her "Rock Star hair".

For me its a toss up between the awful health lottery couple were the wife snogs her man saying they are going on honeymoon, she is so over the top cringe worthy.

The other one is the boy with a sharks fin on his back on holiday in the Thomas Cook advert.

Those horrible kids in some car ad., who are embarrassed by the car and/or their parent. They're all bloody lucky they get a lift to school. When I was young we all walked to school, whatever the weather! (On account of our parents never had a car.)

Talking of spoilt children. I work in a hardware shop and a bloke came in to buy a 6 burner BBQ. he had promised his children it He wanted to pay with Love 2 Shop vouchers which we do not accept. He stormed out the shop.

He came in 5 mins later and ask if we could drop the price £20 as he did not have enough money for it. I said can you not get a cheaper BBQ. No I promised my children he said

He tried 2 more times with different managers to which he was told no but if he could come back later with the extra money that would be fine. He stormed off again but came back as his parents had given him the extra money!!

WTF!!!! For 1 ... how will he pay for the food to go on it and 2... how spoilt are his children

No wonder their are so many horrid children in this world

Sorry rant over but it was to do with spoilt children that are not in adverts.

Yes, the school run didn't exist in my day, we just walked to school in all weathers. I remember getting a lift to school once and once only when it was bad weather and my friend's Dad - who had a car - was at home so he gave us a lift.

When I see this ad I do wonder if it's what happens in real life when millions of kids go to school in a car that no one probably looks twice at.

It's a very irritating ad.

That's the ad irritating me at the moment. I love the photos shown in the advert, but the narration gets my goat so much I have to mute it

Of course it will have inspired and influenced children and teenagers, but you can say that about all music since the 1950's with the invention of the Teenager, Chuck Berry & Elvis.

The fact still remains that Punk is no more 'real' or 'manufactured' than Blues, Metal, Hard Rock, Pop, Jazz or any musical genre. Nearly everything popular is based off a hybrid of rhythm & blues and european classical music (particulary Pachabel's Canon in D minor).

Another problem with the term 'Punk' is that the term is used so loosely and frequently that it has no real meaning. I mean was nirvana really Punk (or Punk-Rock), same with Green Day? Both great bands but lets be honest they are rock bands, but get the Punk-Rock label because they are moody and/or a bit in-your-face. If these were the only requirements to be punk then why aren't Rammstein labelled 'Punk-Metal'.

Punk is just an off-set of rock music that didn't want to be like the 'old' rock guys of the 60's & early/mid 70's (ie the Who, Rolling Stones, Queen, Slade, Status Quo ect). So they call themselves something different, build a small but loyal following and then get exploited (or manufactured) as the new sound by the small & medium sized 'indy' labels.

The exact same thing happened in the 80's with the 'reggae' sound, and finally in the 90's with the world music sound.

I've always ignored that advert but with the way people are talking about the postcode lottery one I'm going to have to watch it next time it's on.

My youngest child walks to school even if it's chucking it down or snowing, it's only half a mile but people living closer than us still drive. There are lots of people carriers and the like that no one notices and even Mercs, Jags and Beemers aren't looked twice at. Friday afternoons are when the Dads arrive for the pick up and is when the serious cars arrive. We have at least two Ferraris, a couple of Lamborginis, numerous Porsches, a Bentley and a Maserati. Now they turn heads with the kids - not some crappy VW that parks itself with pumping rap or whatever. What's more realistic is that there was parking outside the school gates and there aren't any traffic wardens slapping tickets on parents parked on double yellows.

Worst advert - I've changed my mind about this melon so I'm swapping it for a pineapple. It would put me off Tesco. Why would I want to buy something that someone else had taken home? They could have gotten all sorts of germs on it.

Stacey Solomon / Lookagain

Massive cringe. Awful advert, looks cheap as chips.

As for Stacey Solomon, I'm sorry but she's annoying as fook. Sounds like Kermit the Frog on acid and looks like a horse.

Also, no idea why she's chucking her face around and shrugging her shoulders all the time like some sort of overly twee sweet girl type poses - stop being a knob love!
