Perhaps you should re-read my response. I think you will find I said "he" not "you". Plus it was a joke so no need to get so uptight. Just relax and watch all the other crap adverts.tbag who says we're not an island, not me. If you cannot hear the remain theme you are not listening.iandc said:

"Ryanair, Europe's low fare, low co2 emissions airline"
How can they claim they are the low co2 emissions airline, their aircraft use the same engines as everyone else. Unless they have started turning the engines off on approach and are now gliding in to land. I wouldn't put it past O'Leary, it would save on fuel and they could charge for engines on landings.

Maybe Shell, Esso, BP etc. should run their adverts telling folks that having a fuel gauge on their car is saving them money and saving the planet.FourWheelDrift said:

If you go on Skyscanner, a number of flights come up as low CO2 emissions, Easy Jet on my last flight. Maybe they fly higher...How can they claim they are the low co2 emissions airline, their aircraft use the same engines as everyone else.

Alternatively, maybe there is careful drafting going on here. Could the CO2 emissions mentioned have nothing to do with aircraft and are simply those generated by O'Leary talking through his arse? If so, the CO2 in question is, of course, simply displaced by an equal amount of other greenhouse gases, including methane and hydrogen sulphide, also present in his effusions.How can they claim they are the low co2 emissions airline, their aircraft use the same engines as everyone else.

TV advertisers are so worried about being accused of racism or homophobia they are shying away from using images of white people and straight couples.
Marketing departments are even putting diversity above relevance to their target audience to avoid accusations of bigotry, a survey of 500 companies has found. The effort made to be diverse actually distracts from the products themselves.
A third of advertisers questioned said they had used fewer white models and heterosexual couples over the past year. More than a third of these said they were taking this approach to “prevent perceived discrimination”.
You can play a fun game when watching an advertisement & especially the 3 main soaps.
A point is awarded every time:
1. A mixed race couple is depicted.
2. 2 members of the same sex are depicted being affectionate with each other.
3. At least one person of colour is included in every crowd or family scene.
4. A person with a mobility issue is shown i.e. a wheelchair or with a prosthetic limb.
5. Any individual who is presenting with some form of mental anxiety issue.
Maximum points & credibility can be earnt by those companies & programmes who have accurately & with due respect reflected the profile of this countries population mix.
Observing this should NOT make you want to smash up your TV but be immensely grateful every minute & hour of the day that we live in such an enlightened & tolerant country.

The current smart meter adverts that start with clips of children saying thank you. It’s difficult to think of a supposedly public service advertisement that manages to get everything it says wrong, but this one manages it admirably.

I hate every single one of those bloody children. It’s a smart meter, it tells you how much electricity you’re using. Stop trying to suggest it’s anything other than that.

I believe it's because of their carbon-offsetting programme. Of course their planes emit just as much as any other, but they said they'd plant some trees, or more likely pay someone to pay someone to plant some trees - with each someone taking their cut of the offsetting fund, so in the end no extra trees get planted at all, but it's CO2 off their books.How can they claim they are the low co2 emissions airline, their aircraft use the same engines as everyone else.

I presume the meters (both power, and eventually water) will be used to maximise profit through tariff times of usage, and fine tuning of unit costings to remove any post tax funds that may have actually reached your pocket.
* Post Greta Speech Disorder (PGSD)
Communicative symptoms include:
Physical symptoms include: a slight gammon pinking of facial features, often accompanied by spittle at the corner of the mouth which can be projected whilst ranting at a screen, mobile phone or tablet advice.
Treatments are very individualised ranging from knocking one out in an angry manner almost to the point of self-harm to jumping in the nearest V8 CO2 generator and proceeding to the drivethrough (at the maximum pace the drivercamcocksockets) will allow, to order the beefiest thing available to enjoy the thought of those cow burps and forest clearances that have produced the delicacy.
Caution should be taken about the mixing of treatments and location of worm burping to avoid staring on your respective local Facebook group, or nailing some pink rangie driving facial palsy sufferer.
