That annoying M&S Advert

drives me nuts....

"Not just beef, hand reared Aberdeen...."

"Not just Jersey potatoes - but the freshest, finest from ground to fork in 48 hrs"

"Not just berries, hand picked berries...."

Her voice makes me want to vomit. The advert looks like something a 1st year Marketing undergraduate would come up with armed with a text book of 1980's buzz words.

And she does a BT advert voice over too....

hate it. vent vent.

    No on both counts ... I told you I am only the board sex symbol (and damned good at it I am too).

    I've got to admit, the voice is annoying, but the food is perfect.

    The potatoes make me so hungry every time I see them!

    Yaarrrghhh!!! I hate it too...especially the way she says 'chickun' instead of 'chicken'.

    I'll stick to Asda thanks....even though Sharon Osborne and her strangled, nasal voice, makes me want to run outside and punch someone in the face!
    Just run, run and keep on running!
