All high street premises being 'stores' - especially fast food joints. A store is where items are kept for future use or a warehouse. The premises in question are either shops, or offices. McDonald's is a café/restaurant with a shop function.
I've noticed Evans Halshaw using this term in their adverts too. Saying how you can get a car delivered "to your local EH store" from one of their other "UK stores". FFS they're a bloody car dealership not a store.Advertising the new Hyundai Kona "instore from November 2".
Another car dealer advertising themselves as a "store" - bonus annoyance points for "November 2"

The Beans one, bloke comes in after a run, on a health kick having a Protein shake and says what in it and his smug (but quite tidy) missus "Same, we are having some Beans"
Yeah, cos a few beans has the same Protein as a PROTEIN Shake, he would be chugging Beans instead.
Heinz baked beans can has 19.4 grams of proteinYeah, cos a few beans has the same Protein as a PROTEIN Shake, he would be chugging Beans instead.
The market leading Impact Whey Protein drink single serving has 21 grams of protein.
- Per serving, most Whey users have two scoops (A serving being 1 scoop) of Whey in a shake, a serving being a level scoop, mixed with water or milk, so 42 g of Protein, to be fair, nobody is really going to throw down two cans of Beans (19.1 G per can) after a workout, delicious and nutritious though they are, they just arent comparable.

There are many adverts that piss me off these days. The current trend for reedy a capella versions of what were good songs. The Flash advert. GoCompare, for having struck a particularly rich vein of st which they shamelessly persist in mining. The girl in the Trivago ad is starting to wind me up. People's Postcode Lottery. In fact, any advert featuring members of "the great British public".
I think I need a lie down.
Yep lots of that type of slowed down song, sung with a broken voice "oh I'm so emotional" type of st which they shamelessly persist in mining. The girl in the Trivago ad is starting to wind me up. People's Postcode Lottery. In fact, any advert featuring members of "the great British public".I think I need a lie down.
te. There's plenty around. Hate it all. I was at an open mic session in a pub a few weeks ago (guitarist) and there was a young girl there, probably 12 or so, and she could play guitar, and sing quite well, but she sung in that style. Annoyed me because it sounded so put on. Even worse...apparently she goes to stage school so they probably encourage it... eeergh!AlexRS2782 said:
Victorian Plumbing seem to have employed the same advertising strategy as Oak Furnitureland. So 2 employees talking about their products and then mulling over who should press the big green delivery button.

Agreed about the advert though. It's a silly advert from the Smart Meter lot again tbh, just like the earlier ones with what can be best described as a kids cartoon. It's still targeting the wrong age market. Most sub 30's are likely to already have a Smart Meter anyway. It's going to be those late '30's / '40's upwards that are the target market less likely to change.
Using Mya, who is massively well known to most younger people as a DJ, presenter and part of the urban / Grime music scene, to advertise a product that, a reasonably decent portion of the younger tech enabled market already use, seems pretty pointless.

Some fking awful extended advert with Ainsley Harriot and some bint advertising fk knows what (power meters?) during GBBO.
Oh yes. I quite like the ‘Gaz & Leccy’ but that over long rubbish was just awful. Ainsley is still as annoying as ever which also didn’t help.king awful extended advert with Ainsley Harriot and some bint advertising fk knows what (power meters?) during GBBO.Who gives a s

C4 advert for the cinema release of Murder On The Orient Express.
"The proof is in the pudding"
Well it might be if you have twisted the plot to match a misquoted saying by Mike Brewer (which he imported like a rusty Pontiac, from the US) but the "Proof of the pudding is in the eating" FFS.

They look sort of fit-ish, but I have a sneaking feeling they may be from Essex, as I think they were in a previous ad involving a fake wedding & a shiatsu..... why do I even care ?....
