Stu Peters Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I suppose policing is one of those jobs that looks easy to those of us outside the system, whereas it's really not. But comments like the last few about 'no further action' makes me very vexed. YouTube has a great example of that, but on a much bigger and scarier scale. Listen particularly to the 50 guys on the staircase story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Back to a favourite criticism and that is the ads on MR, or more the choice of voice actor. There is one who inflects down the last word of every sentence, it is just very irritating and she seems to be the actor of choice for so many ads. Also, the woman who says handyman with an exaggerated nudge,nudge-type emphasis. It is about time the agency was changed and we got more good Manx Geofferies. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yes the adverts are boring, they obviously cost to change them but Spectrum windows manage it. I like Costains as well but some of the others ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is meant to be sexy, I have to wonder which of the 6 sexes she is FFS . She certainly does not appeal to the straight male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they see that? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Many of MRs adverts are terrible. If it was my business advertised that way and someone actually turned up to buy something after hearing it...I'd put the 'closed' sign up and hide for 30 minutes behind the counter until they'd gone away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monasqueen Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 For how many years will they continue to play the advert that invites you to go to the "newly opened" Ghandi Restaurant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think some of those are bad, try watching the Money Supermarket adverts. Now that's what you call dire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
