Our windscreen was chipped the other day but b0ll0xed will I be phoning Autoglass as I spend half my waking day turning down that sthead Gavin and his mates diatribe on TV and radio.

So I phoned National Windscreens. Nice people.

Anyone else put off and gone elsewhere as a result of a company's poxy advertising?

I will never, ever, ever phone 118 118, and I will never use GoCompare (because it's an Americanism and I hate the adverts).

Same for me, I used Phoenix windscreens twice recently because of "those" adverts.

Actually, thinking about it there's loads of companies I won't use because of their stty adverts.

Can anyone explain how the idiotic Safestyle Windows Double Glazing adverts can inspire anyone marginally above an amoeba's IQ to buy from them?

With you all the way on this. I think I know what Autoglass do, I don't need to be continuosly reminded.

Yep, I got their drift after only 1 day, but we're still bombarded with their ads 24/7/365. vomit

fking stupid not to go to a company just because of their advert.

If they offer a good service at a good price then why would you go anywhere else out of principle that you don't like their advert, like they give a fk.

And you are spending your time by posting and supporting them even though, as you state - "like they give a f*ck"

Used to work at Kwik fit so I'd get an old colleague to do it in exchange for a beer.

Although I wouldnt mind working for autoglass if the customer was female: filling her crack with my special resin? Yes please if she's a looker!

funnily enough my mate is responsible for those ads as he head marketer for Safestyle. Surprisingly (and annoying as they are) the ad's actually work as each time a new ad campaign is launched sales increase. This shows you that there are brain dead idiots out there who are convinced! So the mouthy fat man wont be disappearing anytime soon!
