Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
If I mistime making my cuppa in the programme break, now and again I inadvertantly catch an ad on TV and last night such was the case.
I'm old school and like ads that are catchy, clever and preferably funny but above all else simple. You know, the ones you can understand like "For mash get Smash"..or "You are never alone with a Strand", better still the Lurpack one with dear old Douglas the Butterman.
Andrex ads with the cute puppies are in non of those catagories but being an animal lover I would settle for "awww how cute is that" when it would race off with the bog roll attached to it's collar. Last nights Andrex ad was some kid saying...Andrex left them feeling "Cleaner than a baked bean on a surfboard". Scuse me, did I hear right !!!!!
Some bright sparks paid mega money have come up with putting those inane words in that kids mouth and expecting me to know what the hell he means. I don't, especially when the last time I was on a surfboard someone yelled "Shark" (for a joke) and I nearly s**t myself. Nothing clean about that.
I shall time my tea making break far better in future..
