That's not what I said/wrote.

I'm talking about say FN08GDW on a MKI Golf or YT51SYP on a new Mazda whilst a late Discovery will be on P854TSK.

Palindrome numbers don't come into it.

The daftest one was a Cider advert that was supposed to be rolling green Irish countryside and Irish number plates, when it was clearly the dry dusty baked Savanna with flora and fauna, all that was missing was the herds of Wildebeest.
Reminds me of Sons Of Anarchy, in the episode where they go to Ireland. It’s clear to any idiot that it was filmed in the states, somewhere in the dessert.

Today an advert for an artificial Christmas tree, I think it was on channel 4 or E4 and cannot remember the name of the firm.
Its July, who buys a Christmas tree in July?

Go into a purveyor of expensive watches, say you're looking for a new watch, let them offer you one of those, then decline politely on the basis that your father has one, and is merely looking after it for you.

Probably just after dinner, and before the liqueurs.

None, it's been done a couple of times, not favourable.

Remember those electrical belts that purported to tone your abs, carefully hidden behind your beer belly - well, it's a similar concept in shorts, to tighten feaky lannies.

I think it's when they pretend it's the UK, they rip off images of UK registration numbers and crudely print them off and tape them to cars at random, not understanding the system and getting it wrong. It's bleedin' obvious that it's South Africa or Namibia where a huge number of our adverts are made. Ditto the Dave TV channel self promo adverts, a horse tied up between parked cars with all the wrong UK plates on them and downtown Johannesburg city view just over the wall.
Why do they do that?

A friend of mine once told me about the pre-owned watch market

"Remember, everyone has worn a watch and wiped their arse"

Seeing as BoJo is busy locking everyone up if they'e been abroad for their hols recently, it appears a number of domestic tourism holiday companies have started advertising on mainstream channels.

One of them is Parkdean Holidays. Featuring a really awful version of S Club 7 - S Club Party, which sounds like it's been sung by the Kid's Bop Youtubers, and where the lyrics have been changed to be about holidays, plus a tag line, courtesy of narration by Stephen Mulhern, is "there ain't no holiday like a Parkdean holiday" laugh

I'm also going to nominate the cringeworthy .gov adverts telling us to get out there and enjoy what's left of the summer & the other one about Check, Change, Go for Brexit.

Not being Irish I didn’t even notice that or find fault with their accents! They did send a second unit to Ireland for SOA Here is a critique of it. One thing that is funny is he says the convenience store Wouldnt exist and would have been replaced by a Spar by now and someone posts later saying it’s a real store and still open.
