IRRITATING ADS

Do any of you have ads that really drive you mad? My 2 are the detergent ad where they sing "Where is the sun?" None of them can hold a tune, and the song is banal, and the other ad is that rip off of the Beyonce song "If I were a boy". That kid murders it by singing "If I were a toy", and he mangles the song too. Do any other grans have ads they utterly hate?

I can't stand ads where banks try to sound deep and meaningful and caring. Do they think we're all stupid?

Yep, I'm with NotTooOld and you, VintageJazz. Lloyd's Bank is apparently "Always by my side ". Shame it can't be bothered to be in my High Street.

I have to say I hate the Macmillan ones.
False advertising in our case (though I know others have had better experiences)

I couldn't agree more x 2.

DD2 did the Mighty Hike and raised £1,000 for them. Nearly bloody killed herself after a nasty fall but kept going.

Did we get any help in our hour(s) of need? Not a sausage, despite all the promises. They simply didn't show up! angry
