This has been irritating me for days now,I just don’t get it,I really don’t so could somebody explain it please(it’s a plus net advert)

MiniMoon we are on Plusnet because it was recommended by several people. No complaints so far.

Wagon Wheel used to fill the little front pocket of my satchel.

they are now about the size of a chocolate digestive and have the thinnest chocolate covering imagineable, I think it must be sprayed on!

He looks like a Moron. What a stupid advertisement.

I remember wagon wheels being ginormous, not the size of the large biscuit they are now ?

It is an advert for Plusnet

The problem with the ad is we're all so busy trying to work out what the ad is for we miss the explanation at the end when the man is trying to sell us PlusNet ? I think I'd seen it about three times before the penny dropped (and until 5 minutes ago I thought he'd had a boob operation!)

Shinamae Wed 13-Oct-21 20:59:59

I still think it’s absolute rubbish. And one that’s irritating me at the moment is “did you ring dear”……. See if any of you recognise which advert that is from…..?

S, I'm so p!eased you've highlighted this. I don't feel quite so stupid now as I haven't been able to understand that ad either. By the cook's stance,
I could only assume he had a really pathetic (and failed) boob job done and the other guy was being polite. No fool.like an old fool!

Aldi to mini Vienettas on sticks!

I remember very many years ago (well, about 60 years ago!) I got a summer holiday job at a large, posh hotel where my aunt worked.
A very quiet, elderly man sat at the same table every day in the dining room, on his own, and my aunt told me he was Mr Weston, who made Weston's Wagon Wheels.
I don't know if he was the original Mr Weston or one of his sons.

It's just a joke advert, RobertP. Just a joke.

I very rarely watch live TV and I pay a monthly fee to watch catch-up TV without adverts, which means I hadn’t seen the ad and had to go on YouTube to watch it just so I could comment. As it is I’m already with Plusnet otherwise I’d recommend they give you commission Shinamae. ?

In our family we use the catch phrase from the film Babe in the same way - “that’ll do pig, that’ll do”.

Not seen it,but we always mute the adverts

Billybob4491 Sun 31-Oct-21 08:49:14

I have never been able to work that advert out either, every time I see it I get more puzzled. All very strange.
