They don't do it so much these days, but it used to really tick me off when they'd show a mainframe computer supposedly searching a database, but it was the TOS drive that was shown.

That Vanish crap that you spray on to your carpet and hoover it up, which works "just as well as a professional carpet clean"

So many, many problems I can pick up with that...

Those 'We buy any car' ads. Why do people think they'll get exactly the price they've been offered for their car without it being inspected? I appreciate some *might* but realisticly an 8 year old car with average mileage that's far from concourse condition isn't going to get retail price in p/x.

Also people who quote parkers guide say their car is worth £xxxx and my offer is too low, I say go phone parkers guide and get them to buy your car.

The news regularly get areas of insolvency totally wrong by adopting the Americanism of saying a company has become "bankrupt".

Its technically impossible in English Law and it really irritates me!
