New Mercedes ad- basically a bloke who was given hand me downs all his life but is now given the chance to own a used approved Mercedes car..
"You've accepted whatever old inappropriate knackered used crap was available your whole life. So a used Mercedes will give you just what you're expecting."The message they think they're selling isn't the one they actually come out with.
t ad in its own right, but running it in July is the icing on the (Christmas) cake. XCP said:

I used to buy it in the 70's. It was 60 pence a gallon in a plastic container then. And the farm seems to have changed a bit too!Cupramax said:
Not on TV (yet) but Lidl have their "back to school" ranges in their special buys this week. FFS, most schools haven't even broken up for holidays yet.
Glad I'm not alone there. Annoyed me years ago when I was at school & shops started promoting "back to school" ranges early in the summer holidays; decades later it still pisses me off.Sheets Tabuer said:

The farm was in a village called Sandford, about 4 miles from where I lived at the time. No comparison with the current product!!
The never-ending ad break promos for "Valerian" on ITV2 at the moment. What makes it worse is that, a few weeks ago, Radio 1 were playing a clip where Sharon Osbourne got the name of an act wrong on whatever talent show she's on, and the way she said whatever that name was, is very similar to how the voiceover woman says "valerian".

There were 2 enormous vats in a shed, tended by a couple of elderly men with red noses. You could have 'dry' or 'sweet' or any mixture of the two that took your fancy ( having had a couple of samples to see what you liked). It was virtually opaque and a strange orange colour and flat. Also smelt rather odd. It tended to settle after a while so that the bottom pint or so was undrinkable. It was extremely powerful though, you could get well wrecked on 3 pints.

Christ that brings back childhood memories! Used to go there with my Godfather so he could stock up with cider for the summer. I remember those massive vats very well and the distinctive smell of the place.I remember there was uproar when the EEC as was, put up the duty so it went up to 90 pence a gallon.

Still there, and the original buildings exist, but there's a huge production facility round the back. I remember there was uproar when the EEC as was, put up the duty so it went up to 90 pence a gallon. Or so the story went. ( bloody Europe even then)

Used to have it in my local growing up (the proper stuff).
The current Lidl advert on the radio with some bint that says Lidl is closed due to a crashed spaceship in the car park in the hope of making other customers avoid going to the sales. She get's ushered off by staff/security just as she is finishing her words and makes some god awful noise as if to mimic getting dragged away.

The new Vauxhall advert targeting their new Crossland X at 'Pyjama Mamas' trying to normalise school mums taking their kids to school looking like they've just crawled out of bed.
Pyjama Mamas, or as they are more commonly known lazy chavs.
Bizarrely they've all had plenty of time to apply full make-up, but didn't have time to actually pull on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.Pyjama Mamas, or as they are more commonly known lazy chavs.
