That HP advert with the baby zooming along. I like that bit. I hate, however, the miserable american mother that this baby has. Hardly a surprise, then, that she has this week been dubbed with an english accent.

Absolutely hate the Thomas cook ad with the rednaps. Simply because of Louise, with her "We dream aboudit".
