SCS Sofa Advert Is Really Annoying

Television adverts don't usually bug me, in fact I can even tolerate the Go Compare adverts but the new SCS Sofa advert makes me want to scream ''Because It's Not'' at the television.

This is my reaction to pictures of different sofa's and the advert saying "Does this look like a £25 sofa"..... It's clearly not a £25 sofa because by the time it's paid off it's a £1500 sofa.

    Haha! I was ranting at the exact same advert last night!! To be fair, most of their stuff is probably about the same quality as a £25 sofa :)

    Just try answering 'yes' to the advert. I am sure you will feel a lot calmer!

    I imagine my dog taking a dump on their sofa in the shop and asking the staff if that looks like a £25 mr whippy? :D
    However this ad IMO is no way anywhere near as bad as the go compare ads, I would happily do 6 months to punch that cretinous little bast##ds face to pulp.
    I was going to say i would stab him in the neck with his 'tash' but I cannot advocate knife crime ;)
    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

    As much as I dislike the gocompare ads, I hate the furniture ones such as scs, dfs etc an infinite time more. Their deception really knows no bounds(followed closely by every single supermarket and 'sell you gold for Cash' adverts)

    I've not seen the ad, and I'm sure it's very annoying, but to be fair to SCS, I ended up buying my sofa from there and it's very nice. I'd been to DFS and a bunch of independents and not one sofa felt comfortable. Went around SCS and the only one I found comfy was their cheapest one :O.

    Worked out at about £450 in the end. Still the most expensive bit of furniture I've ever bought though and a lot more than £25.

    The bit that annoys me is on one of the adverts where the settee magically 'extends' and the blokes wave to each other from either end!! Who actually does that?!
