    Just you. It was bread not bricks.

    It does sound like 'throw bricks at ducks!' - it def starts with b and ends with an s, 'breads' doesn't make sense. He also shouts it very aggressively.

    I'm sure it is bread really, but they picked a very poor shot to keep in the ad! Funny.

  • I'm more confused at the everest advert.

    'Be honest, you didn't expect Everest to be doing that did you?'

    Who the hell are Everest?!
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.
