Sorry, to be more clear - the TV adverts with the cardboard cutout laptops, TVs, pubs, clocks etc etc.

yeah it is a bit strange - I always think when that bloke is going on about saving money, he has saved money and only got his hairdresser to do half a job - or maybe they used cardboard cut-out scissors smile

Still think its an odd name for a company/website.

One would have thought it would been better used for politicians or lezzers or Alzheimers society and the like.

Annoying or not, the fact that someone actually started this topic should be enough to tell you that the ads worked.

Know what you mean. It's vaguely unsettling for unspecifiable reasons that probably make no sense.

I find their adverts very annoying and frequently patronising, it's almost as if they really don't have a clue who their target audience are.

It's the fact they destroyed perfectly good cars in the advert that annoyed me.

madAbsolutly hate all these comparison/insurance adds seem to be the new ringting for £3.50 a week plus other charges scensoredd. On all add breaks, all channels all of the time. Get a proper car and use proper brokers its a lot easier.

Every time that bloke says "look what I have on my laptop", I shudder and my cheeks clench together.
