I remember seeing an advert for 'Yorkshire Airlines' some time ago.

I can't remember exactly where I saw it, but I do remember the airliner had an outside toilet.

That Pedigree `Jumbone` gets on my threepenny bits with its `Nom, nom, nom` strapline. Whoever thought of that wants shooting or at the very least, one of those Jumbones stuck up their ginnel.

Re: Adverts

I don't watch TV these days so I've got a limited exposure to adverts. I've got an adblocker on my laptop, too. The only time I sometimes hear adverts is when I'm listening to podcasts, but they are rare.

I don't mind static adverts such as in magazines...otherwise I find all adverts annoying.

Re: Adverts

I hate the widow company one featuring the woman who played Pat Butcher on East Enders shouting at us BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!

Actually thinking about it now the add failed as I can't remember the name of the window company for the life of me

Re: Adverts

There is a completely silent advert that comes on every evening. It is for Trade Centre Wales and advertises used car prices. It certainly grabs my attention, the silence is deafening

No, no, unlike Ryanair, Yorkshire Airlines don't charge customers to use their outside toilet.

If we have to put up with ad's, at least try to make them interesting or amusing.
I agree fender.

Re: Adverts

Mixed race marriages account for about 10% of the marriages in the UK
Fair enough, and I have no opinions for or against

However, it seems now that in every advert that includes a couple or a family, it is of mixed race
Once you are aware of that, it is quite noticeable, and something of a cliche
