Isn't it the worst delivery ever? Reckon they got a couple of bods from the office and got them to read the words from a card.Advert for burglar alarms, rather than call the police after getting home to find they have been broken into the wife rings Verisure to ask for an alarm to be fitted

I do not understand the ads about encouraging people to fill in the census. There is no mention of it being a legal requirement with a potential for a 1000 pound fine.
Why the softly softly celebs "Im doing it so should you"
It just reinforces the "It would be nice to do" not a legal requirement
Agreed, also the point about "I'm helping to improve cycle paths etc" unless I missed it there was nothing on the census about whether we cycle more if there was greater provision of cycle paths!Why the softly softly celebs "Im doing it so should you"

Besides surely the census is completely unenforceable anyway. Don't fill it in and someone might come around and knock on your door. What if you don't answer because you're at work / on the bog / asleep etc. Pointless.

Agreed. I expect them to look down at their hands for the words to say. Nearly as bad is the previously quoted "Hi I have crashed into a pet shop". Where do they get these people from. I guess with Covid there must be lots of first class actors who would jump at the chance of some extra cash.R56Cooper said:

There was a question about how you get to work, wasn't there? As I work from home I didn't read the other options, but maybe one of them was about cycling.Two spring to mind from last night:
The Foxy Bingo one annoys me. The fox turns up with a load of pizzas, hands them round to everyone, then hasn't got one left for himself, and not one of the selfish, greedy fat gits offers him a piece of theirs.
And there's a Jaffa Cake advert where someone wants to be "King of the Roller Palace", where the tag line is something like "who knew a Jaffa Cake could be a biscuit?" Didn't they win a massive court battle where they argued that a Jaffa Cake isn't a biscuit, and therefore there's no VAT on it? Is there some kind of statute of limitations on food-related matters or are they about to be dragged back into court where someone will shout "Ah! We've weedled it out of you at last!"?
Radio ad but still really annoying heard it today for the first time

k TFL advert to remind dumb fks to' exit left' when their car brakes down - how stupid are people these days? Has there been a recent outbreak of people dancing around on lane 1 of the M1 after their car broke down on the hard shoulder?

Karcher jetwash, connected to an app via Bluetooth.
Why?
User name doesn't check out. Why?
Seriously, it baffles me too.
I can see the point of it for washing machines, dishwashers or central heating, but a phone controlled pressure washer has so much potential to go badly wrong with no real benefit!

The app lets you control water pressure and detergent flow rate, erm, ok.
However, you can also do this from the smart lcd control panel on the lance...(which will stop working after 366 days or whenever the warranty expires).
Great.
Clearly Karcher are aiming their products at the clueless with too much cash.

Its almost a parody advert., The woman in the call centre just seems totally uninterested. It reminds me of something Victoria Wood would do and the womans (advert) voice isnt far off someone from one of those shows
