What has happened in Fairy’s recent legal history that they’re so obsessed with telling us to keep their laundry products away from children? Every bloody break.

Could that be it? I'd noticed the same...

What is it with the makers of these detergents?
Either make them look unatractive
Or package them in a child proof container
Its not hard FFS.

Are we so vacuous as consumers that we need these things to look pretty?
Maybe they should just ban them and we can go back to powders,nobody ate those.

I always hear the "always keep away from children" as life advice rather than a safety warning

They do the 2nd option you gave. That's why they run the adverts telling people to close the container.

Yes. Remember these are people who need to be told to close containers properly and keep detergents away from children.

I've said this before, but one of my oldest friends used to say all the advice you needed in life was to be found on a packet of matches:

"Keep dry and away from children".

There's a new ,younger Clearscore couple.

Bring back Moose ,I say.

[Langweilig]

The adipose woman who shouts "Biiiiiiiiingo!"

[Saleen836]

The latest Tepilo advert, the woman says "they have just upped their offer by £10k" Sarah Beeney replies... "£15k and not a penny less!"
congratuations you have most likely just lost the sale and made people selling they can expect more for their house than it's actual vaue

[Antony Moxey]

There’s one currently showing on Sky Sports for Delta Airlines and their partnership with Masters golf. It has the tag line ‘when the minimum requirement is perfection’. How on earth does anyone ever get beyond the minimum requirement, and there must be an awful lot of disappointed people at Delta Airlines.

I'm surprised Sarah Beeney had time to do an advert. Everytime I see her she's about to drop another sprog

Went to the cinema earlier today and Flo and Joan were shown before the feature singing about a fan. It was fking dire.

“It’s an awful advertising gimmick making them look like fun squidgy pouches. Even I’ve been tempted to give it a squish. The manufacturers need to look at child proofing the boxes and take this much more seriously.”

Amazing indeed its detergent, its designed to so a function. The move from powder to pouch was unique and a massive step forward. no spillage, and the right measure every time. As an adult you have a duty of care to your kids, you don't let them play with chemicals. And that is what they are. there are lots of bright things out there but you ensure that you store them properly and keep them out of the reach of kids. common sense but sadly that lacks these days.

Just saw it and I agree, Moose was a better actor

Pain. Gone.

Small print at the bottom of the screen says " Name does not imply efficacy."

So WTF does it imply then?

I've just seen another similar ad for some product called LadyCare Menopause. Some sort of weird device the size of a 50 piece which comes in 2 magnetic parts and fits inside and outside the lady's knix. The ad failed to explain how it worked and what is was supposed to do, and had the same disclaimer at the foot of the wording, What's the point in buying it? Is it aimed at women who cry for hours on end and throw knives at their husbands? Not clinically tested is a phrase which says it all.

For the gullible who also purchase magnetic or copper bands for rheumatism aches and pains.

new Nationwide advert with the two bints making a noise (its not singing) about being fans. I didn't think they could get worse, i was wrong.

[AlexRS2782]

Not the TV but the radio instead.

First one for some compensation culture group of solicitors that are encouraging people to sue their holiday operator if you got ill while on holiday overseas and / or got the squits as a result. Extremely unlikely payouts of 5 figures quoted, and it's even worded in such a way as to encourage false claims.

Another one for a driving school that can 100% guarantee that you'll pass your test in just 5 days of intense driving. Not sure how they can guarantee 100% success rate unless they're bribing the examiner to pass everyone. Anyway, it's made more amusing by the fact that the advert features an MC laying down the web address for the company, but due to the volume of the background music along with the MC, i'd doubt many people will be able to decipher the web address they're being encouraged to visit

Just saw another Flo and Joan one about a fry up

[Biker 1]

The latest army recruitment add featuring 'faith'...........
Do the powers that be really think this will solve anything??
