It's nothing at all to do with every other TV ad being for a new sofa then?
Lots of competition in front of your very eyes multiple times every day from different companies.
Have you ever seen one ad for Multiyork? No, I bet you haven't in Luxemburg but I haven't here in the UK either. Times change and Multiyork just can't compete, it's that simple.
Of course staunch Europhiles like yourself don't like that so you try to blame it on something that hasn't happened yet. Was the collapse of BHS due to Brexit too according to you?

Now let me think about that

A more predictable outcome of Brexit - inability to enter the Capital of Culture - has already happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-42095477

We were daft to think that wouldn't happen.

Any chance of being out of the Eurovision song contest too?

We can but hope!
Apparently such is the UK`s financial contribution to Eurovision we are precluded from ever being relegated to the qualifying contests that are a precursor to the main event.
What is it about the UK and its penchant for throwing its cash at Europeans?

No. The Eurovision Song Contest will continue to be contested by the UK as long as the UK want to stay in. It is one of the big five contributors.

The next contest will take place in May in Lisbon and the UK is definitely on the list of competitors who will be competing.

Uk and EU still in agreement on quotas.

British and European negotiators recently announced they had hashed out a deal to split the EU’s tariff rate quotas (TRQs), which allow certain amounts of agricultural produce to enter the bloc from countries outside with low or no tariffs.

The agreement was based on historical trade volumes, and farming groups originally accepted it as fair, but greater scrutiny of the deal has revealed the UK would have to accept a percentage of the unused part of the quota based on use.

Though several big agricultural exporters have challenged the EU-UK deal, EU officials believe the agreement is ‘sound and deliverable’ because WTO rules focus upon quantity, not quality, of access.
