    Doubtless you are referring to the Renault advert ?

    I want to poke their smug faces with a sharp stick !

    I remember the days when childrens TV programmes were the heavily dubbed sort - and out of sync! - heaven forbid we go backwards to *those* "Good old days"

    No I was referring to an advert for kids yoghurt - didn't clock which brand - but now you've mentioned the Renault advert I'm sure it'll annoy me doubly when I do see it!!!

    I think I caught a glimpse of the Fiat 500 ad and Fernando Alonso seemed to be doing the same, if he is dubbed (and I'll watch it more closely next time), it's a shame because he speaks perfectly good English.

    Cillit Bang used to be one of the worst.

    I hate them too - if they can't be bothered to tailor their adverts to the UK market, I can't be bothered to buy their products.
