    I really hate that one where the man goes to mow the lawn with an old push mower, but then the grass grows really tall. SO he gets a loan, and buys a top of the range sit on lawn mower!

    The picture loan bit that irritates me is where Mr Smug says "yes we have a mortgage". I'd be looking smug if I hadn't got a mortgage lol

    Every time I see that Picture Loans advert, I imagine that the video tape being made by the wife is about to land on Martin's desk together with a desperate plea to be featured in the Make Me Rich programme - 'Help me - I'm MARRIED to this moron!' :)

    Why is she even video taping him on the phone???:confused:

    Kids birthdays, yes
    Weddings, yes
    Days out, yes

    Organising a loan...um, not one for the home video collection:p

    I am all for leaving adults to suffer the consequences of their actions

    But sometimes people need protecting from their own stupidity
