    Go Compare makes me want to hurl a brick through the TV screen (especially the one with the posh ladies college and socks).
    Meerkats still make me smile when a new one comes on - I think they were one of the best adverts of recent years (although I still want to ride home from work on the Barclaycard slide instead of the M1)

    I prefer to pick up the phone and haggle a good price.

    Out of curiosity I did a search on both car and home insurance and as I expected neither came cheapest quotes came close to the deals I have negociated.

  • Thank you for all the replies, glad it's just not me.
    I think the meerkats should be shaved bald and barbacued alive whilst listening to a jamie oliver advert!
    Nooooooo!
    The advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D

    I can't stand it, but, i wouldn't refuse to use the site just because of the advert. That's an incredibly stupid reason.

    The site has actually got my insurance down. I went with Admiral & through Admiral it was x-amount, but through gocompare, with the same details (& STILL with Admiral) it was x-amount cheaper.

    In advertising there is a creative team of usually two; a visualiser (or creative director) and a copywriter. Whoever thought up this advert should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
