Has anyone else spotted, in the Müller Light advert, that the white Morris Minor appears to be running on an 07 plate??

How can that be??? Is someone making them still? Is it all being filmed on private land, so they can do what they like? Why not just have the original plate on it??

Can't find a still of it, but here's the advert on YouTube:

I think it's just a generic number plate so they can show it anywhere.

One of my pet hates, generic adverts that are filmed in some generic city, with generic traffic police etc.

Barclaycard and some chewing gum ones spring to mind in these generic cases. mad

LOL. Knew it would be this as soon as I read the title. Irked me seeing such a daft flaw, so much so I mumbled about it and my girlfriend rolled her eyes.

This.

It seems nearly every TV advert is made in SA these days. All they've done is take a UK reg number, had it made up on a SA plate and put it on the Moggie. Fail.

The cider advert with the bees really annoys me, it's so not Ireland, the roads, the cars, the bus, in the final scenic shot, one expects to see herds of Wildebeast.

This current Tesco advert - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH5U2kiIj2c

Why has Tesco gone to the bother of modifying a Ford Ka with what looks like its had a stoke, and the Audi A4 which has had its front bumper lower grilles removed...is this to try and make them look generic?

If they're spending money on slightly altering cars, no wonder their share price was down recently!
