tamthebam Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Radio Forth has an advert for a roofing company which is endorsed by Scott Hastings. I would never use them because I can't stand him. I saw him on a couple of referendum debates, and he was an ignorant, arrogant obnoxious p***k on them. I think it's kinda stupid for any company to align themselves with anyone who was so prominent in the debate (either YES or NO) because you'll be potentially alienating approximately half of the population Ex public school rugby player an ignorant arrogant obnoxious p***k? Wha wid have thocht it? I gave up eating a certain chocolate and peanut bar for years because they changed the name. Only recently did I find out that the bar was named "Snickers" after Forrest Mars favourite racehorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually the family horse from the Mars family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiemunster Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I needed some tiles recently and made a decision to avoid Te-de-de-desco Ti-ti-ti-tiling, despite them having Wa-wa-wa-one of the best selections in the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any company that cold calls. If it's not automated, I'll ask the name of the company and tell them I keep a list, and by cold calling they've just ruled themselves out of ever getting any business from me. I don't actually keep one, but it seems to disappoint the agents, which is good enough. I've never actually understood the rationale behind it anyway - has anyone ever got one and said "Glad you phoned - I was just thinking about getting a conservatory...?"

1320Lichtie Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 No adverts annoy me really, if they're annoying you they are doing a good job might do your nut in but it's usually the 1st place you think of, we buy any car, go compare etc. On a different note I feel everybody should buy there doors and windows from Sidey, advert on the radio is definitely Tayside famous. Who can make your windows doors and conservatories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawB93 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any advert that's patronising or tries to tell me I need their product I generally avoid. So that's just about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
