That's the Bisto radio advertising campaign started today. The same Linda Bellingham soundalike 4 times an hour from now until New Years Day.

Eye Ay Gay.

That'll be AEG to anyone who isn't German or a pretentious tt.

gambling apps trying to normalise their services. No, normal people do not sit around all day air-punching with gopping massive grins on gambling games. If they did play them that much they would lose more than they win, so showing those people as happy and well-adjusted is basically lying.

What's Ray Winstone doing delivering for Wiltshire Farm Foods??

Balsam Hill Christmas tree adverts already.

I'm torn over the latest Nationwide ad I have seen (Home Yoga). On one hand it is the first one that does not have a completely cringeworthy script and I daresay is even mildly amusing, on the other hand the chap's hair/beard combo is entirely unacceptable.

Why does Peloton address their customers as 'Peloton'? Some kind of identity crisis?

Look up the meaning of the word 'peleton'.

At least a new lockdown will stop the endless, terrible and patronising 'now you're getting back to normal' adverts.

As I understand it, peloton is French for either platoon, or company, both military terms.
I’ve emailed one cousin in France, and one son of a cousin, (second cousin?), if they come up with anything different, I’ll let you know.

Anyone else somewhat vexed by the way the woman reverses the Volvo off the driveway in the ad where the reversing sensors (if that's what they're called) stop her whole family being wiped out by a truck? Surely if she's reversing out of a drive where tall hedges block the view, her main concern should be to do it carefully enough to avoid running into pedestrians who she would encounter before she even gets onto the road?

If the visibility is so bad she should be reversing it in anyway, sensors or no sensors.

Greatly vexed by the display of wantonly st driving, if the viz is that crappy reverse in like the HC tells you to.

'Peloton’ is a pack of cyclists. It can refer to either the whole pack of riders or the V-shaped main pack of riders, at the front of a race, drafting off one another. Peloton literally means little ball or platoon.
