Dvorak Feb 2021 5:51pm, 25 Feb 2021 22,043 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Nearly all tv adverts currently especially the perfume ads (specially especially HOD's) and the ones for second-hand cars sales services, particularly the one with some apparently demented and quite threatening beardy guy which would utterly put me off ever considering that company's services.

All Lloyds adverts can shit off, too, with their dreary covers of songs that people of a certain age inexplicably like. I do like the AA advert with the toy dog setting up a fan to blow in its face though - it's subtle, the dog is cute, and the music and voiceover aren't in your face.

The lesson we learned at school by means of the sentence "Wanted: piano by lady with carved legs" doesn't seem to be taught any more. Here is an example from the Highways Agency: As one of the busiest sections of road on our network, more than 270,000 vehicles pass through the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange each day.
