The charity ads are utterly relentless this year, good grief.
It’s also not … What you can afford like it use to be.
It’s £20 or £30!!
They try to get you into a direct debit where you give an amount every month. It can go go hundreds every year. My parents got caught by these scams and were paying thousands every year until we stopped it.
I know someone who took a temp job for these charities, constantly badgering people on the street to donate… he quit because his supervisor kept on at him to try and ‘upsell’ donation amounts or monthly DDs.

I haven’t seen a ‘chugger’ on the street for a good while. Why on earth they thought I would give my bank details to a perfect stranger is a mystery.
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.🙄
Oh just give him his compensation for the loss of his beans. Mind he probably still crying over the loss🙂

Well, you probably know the saying ‘ beans, beans good for the heart. The more you eat the more you …..’
If I hear that bloody awful ‘music’ on the EE ad one more time - the one with the tuba - I’ll explode! Same with the Flash ads - for Gods sake change the damned record, I’m sick of hearing Queen tracks for mattresses, cleaning fluids, furniture etc.
I just bought my husband a bottle of Pepto Bismol for Christmas. I thought it quite expensive! (£8+)
Just shows the power of advertising (it’s our favourite ad).
(I did buy him a bottle of whiskey instead which was even more expensive.)
Your husband may need the Pepto Bismol if he has too many whiskeys 😂😂
Booking.com has an ad with music that I believe has lyrics…? It’s someone with a falsetto voice singing what my partner says sounds like “cash cow, cash cow… I need you here” 😵💫

I had someone come to the door this afternoon. It's not on, I could have been a timid little old lady, I'm a fire breathing old dragon but he wasn't to know that. I thought cold calling fund raiser were illegal.

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.
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.
Some of the smuggled food doesn’t even look fit for human consumption 🤮

It’s not. It’s not even food. It’s plastic and toxins.
I’ve watched a video of how they make it look so ‘nice’. It is quite interesting tho.
I bought my turkey from Tesco this year and after seeing their advert where it shows a turkey being carved, I'm concerned that I’ve made a big mistake.
It’s the most unappetising turkey that I've ever seen in an advert.

Not an advert but a trailer with Jimmy Carr in.
What on earth has he done to his face. He looks like a Thunderbird puppet.
i hate him, he took money to perform in Riyadh this year when everyone else was boycotting. I have to tune him out when we watch 8oo10cdc
Agreed. He comes across as such a smug, self-satisfied slime ball who’s nowhere as funny as he thinks he is. How he gets the work is baffling.
Dare I mention his braying guffaw performative ‘laugh’? It’s reminiscent of a performing seal I once saw as a South African wildlife park many years ago.
That ad for The Radio Times!
I was doing a bit of cleaning so wasn't actually watching the telly but it was on, when my ears were graced with the sound of a horrible, loud, wet sounding belch...supposedly it was meant to humorously signify overdoing it at Christmas.
Lovely
Maybe the next one will a nice wet fart sound on it too...I mean, that's the puerile level of so many ads these days.

Give £30 or you may as well just kill this dog yourself you b*****d!

It's appalling. They must put off so many people from donating who simply can't chuck £30 at a charity.
