HSBC advert winding me up!

nat21luv · 2013-07-23 22:11:38

I don't know if anyone has seen it, but the new HSBC mortgage advert really hits a nerve! A couple get married and the parents give then a gift:a map. They follow the map to a house with an envelope on the door holding the keys to their new home. Bride is carried over the threshold. Lots of smiles. Great. So what this…

with the added bonus that I can say I saved every penny myself. Every penny. So meh.

Made me laugh.

You could look at it from the other side though... it is difficult to buy a house and so theyre advertising that they do accept gifted deposits??

Just be proud you have done it all off your own back.
