Probably not PC but I hate that RNIB ad with the girl banging on about letters from Santa in braille and how she said she was on the ‘Nice’ list - ffs, isn’t she a little old for all that? I mean, like 8-10 years too old? And don’t get me started on those godawful ASDA grinch abominations this year!
That girl must now be aged about 16: i’m sure the ad must be at least five years old.
The ridiculous advert with the man taking a suitcase full of tinned beans on holiday and then crying throughout the holiday because they must have bean (sorry-been)
confiscated.🙄
That ad fills me with dismay. It's a joke on the sad people who go to Spain, Greece etc and then insist on eating only "British" food. The problem is that there are quite a few people like that. They're the "patriots" who have dragged down Britain and continue to do so: they're not funny.
If you go to on holiday to popular destinations like Spain, Greece, Turkey or Malta it’s very short odds that you’re not far away from a ‘British’ shop that sells Heinz baked beans (and Walkers Crisps, HP Sauce etc etc).

On the way to the Old Town of Prague, it’s like there’s a whole street of nothing but pubs. It’s not like the Czech Republic’s cuisine is so foreign that you’d need to have fish and chips instead. 😅 deep fried cheese, almond doughnuts, stews, fish, chicken, pasta, beef in cream sauce, pork dumplings.

No-one's dragged Britain down with some beans!
If you ever watch the airport security programmes, you will see that it's not just a British thing. Chinese, Indians, Thais, Japanese, Russians etc take suitcases stuffed with (illegal) food. Nothing wrong with a few home comforts ,but when you have 5kg of force-fed bear saliva, it's extremely sickening.

Some of the attempted smuggled food you see in the Aussie ‘Nothing to Declare’ show looks and sounds nauseating (to my British sensibilities). I wonder why some people can’t go on holiday to Aus for a couple of weeks without their home comforts.

Sometimes your stomach doesn’t adapt for ages and you’ll want your home comforts. It’s a generalisation but some food cultures round the world can be very rich and vice versa.
I try to save money on holidays by self catering, so I take a lot of shelf stable food items in my suitcase.

My boyfriend's family are from India, we travel there most years. We pack some items that cant be bought there, also who wants to go supermarket shopping on holiday? (actually I do.)
M&S clothes ads. A group of people striding through a snowy town sneering at people, and one of the men starts doing some sort of David Brent dance.
It's awful, so are their food ads.
Don't see them as sneering. Posing for sure.
But definitely a David Brent dance from the one at the end who glares at the camera as if he wants to smack the viewer in the face for some imagined slight
That stupid Diamond Draws ad with that airhead Charlotte Dawson🙉🙈... it's on a permanent loop on Sky Sports!
“I’M A BUSY MUM..!” apparently involves walking around the house in your dressing gown and hair rollers, occasionally interacting with a child. Then getting dressed in a gown for a home photo shoot and laughing when the child ruins the shot.
Pretty sure any model photographer and mum worth their salt would arrange for the kids to be out of the room for less interruption.
No idea who she is so had to google. Reality TV personality and daughter of the late Les Dawson, who my partner tells me was once a famous comedian. Apparently she was born one year before he died in 1993… 😅

On those shows, they are usually taking them for for family or friends who live in Aus and can't get them. That or they are smuggling them in to sell. I seem to recall those birds nest things are worth $1000s.

They dammed well should be, I have seen how they live and what they do to collect them. In pure black caves, no daylight at all, living in a tent in that darkness, and clambering 30 - 50 feet up a bamboo pole with nothing but a knife to release the nest from the roof. I discovered them in the Niah Caves in Borneo, not what I expected to see!
Used to live out there, and every so often British food appeared on the shelves of the local store, but only for a nanosecond. It's like they were inhaled by some weird being as they vanished from the shelves so fast!

My point was that they're going to other countries but can't bear it that things aren't just like at home. If you're visiting somewhere, why bother if that's how you feel? A bit like the "expats" who go to live in other countries and spend all their time in "English pubs" or similar ghettos and, of course, would be horrified to be called immigrants...

I'll forgive her... slightly, as her father was indeed a legend, and I never knew this was his daughter.

Considering the song is about taking LCD on a lump of sugar I'm a bit surprised it was even chosen
Exactly, he's taking the mickey out of himself and fair play to him for having a sense of humour. Something that seems lost on some folk 😉

Then one day Fotex supermarket started selling a generic brand...
Often Lidl or Netto would do British week..but naturally it wasn't exclusively British groceries....
My boyfriend's family are from India, we travel there most years. We pack some items that cant be bought there, also who wants to go supermarket shopping on holiday? (actually I do.)
He's ever so mean and moody isn't he !
A tree has baubles resembling Greg James, Fearne Cotton, Romesh and Sophie Ellis Bextor.
Poor Fearne must be chilly as each time I see it she has "frosted tits!"
And the "Romesh bauble" is a rotten likeness!
No, it's an actor
I always think that bloke looks like Richard Ayoade in 20-odd years' time
