    I loved the Shake n Vac advert.

    That weetabix advert annoys me as when he gets to the meeting he has a croissant on the desk that he moves away. So he didn't need to have breakfast on the run. He had breakfast in work waiting for him so it's a pointless ad anyway.

    That annoyed me too :rotfl:

    The Weetabix drink looks gross. Isn't it just a very milky weetabix that's been hanging around in a plastic bottle for months?

    Do people really still watch adverts? Each to their own, but personally I'd rather not spend an hour watching a programme of about 42 minutes. If time is money then that's not very MSE I would suggest. ;)

    If people really want to be offended by an advert then this one reported by the BBC sounds more worthy:

    'I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my father. Not screaming and terrified like his passengers.' (Bob Monkhouse).

    Sky? Believe in better.

    Note: win, draw or lose (not 'loose' - opposite of tight!)

    Children do sometimes get influenced by adverts - so my Mum tells me!

    A 3 year old in the 1980s... The house was too quiet. My mum goes to find me. Bathroom door closed. "uh oh" Opens door. There's this white thing in the middle of the room happily shaking a bottle of talc everywhere while singing the Shake and Vac jingle! :rotfl:

    I do love that story!

    Haha!! I'll show this to my Mum... She was in the early stages of labour with my younger brother and had just cleaned the house before heading into hospital.

    Me (thinking I was being helpful!) decided to do the Shake n' Vac behind her using, you guessed it, talcum powder :rotfl:.
