I'm guessing you're in Sweden then. As for M D Y format, I am sure that has never been used numerically in the UK. Did you mean in words, which is not a problem, when you said that?

No need to be a smart arse, it was a UK ad and this is a UK forum.

but was it a UK ad originally, many ads are made in the USA because they are a bigger audience and the make minor changes to make it a UK ad, as witness the side of the road on which they drive and vehicle Reg. Nr.s, shop facades etc.

As far as I am aware that ordering has only been used in the 'worded' version in the UK, as our officialdom certainly would not permit such common coarseness as numerical-only shorthand unless required to do so by some official standard, e.g. ISO8601 and the lead-up to its adoption. Probably.

There's definitely threads about this somewhere in GD though I suspect these will primarily be about 'being right' with facts being somewhat secondary as they usually also involve arguments about the metal with chemical symbol 'Al'.

Like K = Potassum and Na = Sodum, you mean?

I have completely no understanding of what it is of which you speak

Yes you do

OH NO HE DOESN'T, ah Panto have come early this year

The 3 stupid women dressed in bridesmaids dresses ??? Screaming

The Aviva Drive app. Challenge your family on how to drive.

And who's the winner? Well, there's no suspense because there's only been one advert made, so it's bloody Malki again. And what sort of stupid name is that for an old duffer like him?

The ORAL B advert that's been on twice during 'life on the dole' is awful. The girl on it has the most stupid face, the ugliest mouth, and teeth that have clearly been whitened.

Pathetic.

Pretty much all toothbrush/toothpaste adverts have actors with unnaturally white teeth, I'm amazed they're allowed to do it.

Colgate is the worst
I contacted trading standards but got nowhere
These adverts which claim that a whitening toothpaste can have the result shown by models, who obviously have had professional whitening,should be fined for making false claims. The advertisers should be forced to show a prominent notice stating that toothpaste can only have a limited whitening effect, and in order to get the results shown, professional whitening is required.
That won't happen, though

I'm a bit concerned about the girl in the SCS adverts, as she and they haven't been seen on my TV for a couple of months.
I thought they had a year round sale??

i scream exactly that at the TV every time its on.

Can anyone explain the Amstel advert that's on all the time

Fills everywhere with chairs because the river freezes every few years

Can't drink it unless inside or sat on a frozen river

It's Amsterdam, and Amstel is from Amsterdam...and that's the only link I can think of.

The Amstel is also the river that flows through Amsterdam, which gives the city its name. What you see though, is a canal.

I'm not sure if it is the worst, but it gets on my nerves.

The wooden furniture one with the two blokes in, and whistling to Knock on Wood. I hate whistling. It reminds me of little fat cheeky chappy type guys who get on my nerves.

And what the hell is Chris Akabusi doing prancing around in that mousse advert like a loon? He must have a very good sense of humour to do that.

That is weird to not have had any build up or a series of ads showcasing everyone in the challenge.
But well done Malki for bucking the trend and being male in an advert that's competent and actually won something over females.

Whenever that advert comes on TV when you see that stupid celebration he does I always make a w**ker sign at the TV at him.

That bloody Sunlife ad came on again with that woman from Coronation Street.

I dont care who you get to do the advert I would never sign up to some crappy company who effectively steals your money if you pull out at any time.

Also those ads for guys who are obviously in their 20's and NOT greying advertising the product while their hair has been 'greyed'.
Why not show on an actual greying guy ?

Ronaldo didn't get is abs etc using that 'thing' either.

Tesco maze advert: ineffectual male gets family lost in maze; females share a "typical hopeless man" look; female child saves the day, leading man by the hand out of maze.

Don't think I need make any further comment except (1) the "aunt" (Ruth somebody, I neither know nor care) gurns out the smuggest face ever (quite an achievement in adland) and (2) good luck to gender traitor Ben Miller trying to resurrect any credibility in his future career.

What a terrible ad. Anyone who says 'Booooom!' deserves to be locked in a soundproofed cupboard for all eternity.
