It's an ad on British TV, she gets the British spelling and any weird currency conversion is her problem!
She probably gets paid in yoghurt anyway.

Still got to be the extremely annoying Nick Grey and his blasted Gtech inventions ... cleaners, mowers and powered bicycles!

Channel 4 should do something about the frequency and regularity with which his ads appear in the afternoon (yes, I know it's all about the revenue). Maybe they could suggest that he makes a new add for his Gtech cordless floor cleaner .. at least we wouldn't end up reaching for the mute button all the time!
I've started going mad with these adverts. Mad as in insane. I talk to the TV.

I say "But Nick! Where does the dirt go?" before he says "In case you're wondering where the dirt goes" "I was Nick, tell me" "It's compressed into tidy bails" which is my cue for the Tidy Bails song.

But there is a special sadness in my heart, a deep crying for the sheer desolation and loneliness of a man go grey and devoid of human interaction and love that he has to try and train his dog to play swingball with him.

I don't know whether they have been mentioned before, but I have to mute those cringe making Patient Claim Line adverts in between the entertaining Judge Rinder.

I have never seen so much bad, and over the top acting, even from Extra's, although I have feeling that they are part time actors.

Any car ad is the worst, but a new one where you can press a button and stop rain falling on you is beyond stupid.

Elton John would love a car like that, if it also stopped the wind blowing.

Don't know if it's been said but probably the PPI ones? I feel like they're everywhere, I could probably recite them word for word

"Do you know you could have PPI"

Erm... YES

You'd know you had PPI if you'd be living under a rock on the moon.

Their are fossilised microbes, deep under the surface of Mars that know they've due money from PPI.

Aren't those cars called "convertibles"?

Yeah, I had a blonde girlfriend who had locked herself out of one of those and left the keys in the ignition, she phone me up to come and help her, because it was raining and the leather upholstery was getting wet, because she had left the top down, well she was blonde

Dunno if it's already been said, but You're so Moneysupermarket. Repulsive sh!te - the only reason I know the name of the product is that it's on so often.

Utter carp.

It doesn't even make sense or bear any relation to the product they're trying to sell. Dreadful advert on every level. And that song, THAT SONG! It's awful!

Does anyone ever EVER go on the Vanish Tip exchange?

I mean, is it actually even a THING?! If it is, then that is some special kinda sad person who goes on there. Oooh, my bar of vanish removed a stain off my jeans yesterday! I must tell people online about it.

Jeeeeeez!

I agree. They are awful ads! And yes they're on waaaay to often. Not only that, but they're too long!

I don't know for sure how long each ad is, but it feels like about 3 minutes! Each ad just drags and drags, and his voice is HORRIBLE! It's so droney, and the way he says two hundred and ninety nine paaaaaaands just makes me wanna scream!

It's like one of those ads on "Chanel 9" (from The Fast Show),

And as for the name...the "Saniflo Macerator". That conjures up an image I really don't want in my head!

Always targeting boys now with their; "boys said I couldn't play sport". Sheesh, it's not like girls in schools are all butter wouldn't melt types! Both sexes can bully and tease each other and the opposite sex. I have a 16 year old niece and to be honest, it was always the other girls that caused the problems, not boys.

And so what anyway- someone says you shouldn't be playing sport- it's not like they can stop you, it's just a stupid comment, the type of stupid comment boys and girls get hurled at them every day, stop trying to make out like it's this massively empowering thing, or that it's exclusive to girls and women, it's so irritating! I mean do boys get an 'empowering' ad for all the stupid, insulting things girls and boys say to them? Just feels like a particularly low blow for these ad execs to target boys now, it's bad enough when they have a go at men.

Maybe for the sake of balance, we should have a series of say- Gillette adverts that are all like; "Do you think because I'm a man, I should be expected to eat red meat and open doors for you?" or "Girls said I couldn't do ballet" or "Am I really expected to pay for this meal?"

Heck, lets just have all adverts starting tit for tat arguments between the sexes like the Always ads do, sounds healthy and not childish at all...

The Kriss Akabusi advert has to be one of worst adverts all time

Everything he does is annoying

Even when we dont hear of him for years, he is still annoying

I wonder which particular genius persuaded Sky that a small, fluffy, white, would be dancing dog with an incredibly annoying American accent was going to have people flocking to buy their broadband.
