I saw in the DM today an advertisement for Sainsbury's potatoes with a large dancing female model on a double page spread with the words 'Strut - food dancing is living well'. What those words mean I haven't a clue.hmm

I am wondering if the use of such a large model is almost making it seem the norm, or is it positive showing her being active ? I am in two minds, what do you think ?

I am not a beanpole myself.

Isn't this related to some dance craze that has caught on with the children? I can't remember what it is called. I must ask our eight year old. I have a strong feeling this advert isn't aimed at most of ussmile which means Sainsbury's are making me feel old and out of step (no pun intended).

We hope to go to Sainsbury's tomorrow for the first time for months so I hope the staff aren't dancing round the aisles
Or perhaps that could be fun hmm

perhaps it should be tango with a mango?

Go twerkin' with a gherkin.

Although I'd rather twist it with a biscuit! grin
