Listening to the radio, I keep hearing one for the Advertising standards authority how all ads have to be truthful etc, etc, etc. So....I turns the telly on and there's Topcat going for a mortgage for a new bin to live in as the advisor takes down his details. So, we have a cartoon cat turning up to get a mortgage for which he is apparently successful. No wonder there was a banking crisis.
Any other adverts in a similar vein...?

Thought this was going to be a thread about one of the best and most underrated punk bands of the 70's.

Like the way that lass from the Halifax just says no problem when TC comes out with his sob story, if I tried that they would be shouting for security to take me away.

There weren't any underrated punk bands, not from the 70s nor any other era.

Think logically Mr Snowy. The attractive lady from the Halifax advert is trying to keep a low profile, you know, after what happened to her dad when she lived in Brookside Close! TC may or may not have had some leverage on her! :wink:

If they were turning down a cartoon cat for a mortgage for a property maybe worth £50 I doubt I would consider using them tbh.

Correctamondo Mr Mutley (like you not sure about the spelling). I was the same, but eventually cheated by trying the Interweb, cos it was doing my head in, who she was and where I seemed to recognise her from.! IMHO (which I know may get me Sin Died from the Bunker) she is much fitter than her "sister" Anna Friel! FACT

She couldn't talk properly on Brookside, so she must have had elecution lessons. From the way she portrays the gullible Yorkshire lass working in a bank I suspect electrocution lessons would be more appropriate.
