Well in a pub full of nice people they tend to be tolerated.

And as its my name above the door we'll have toleration - not sheer fucking rudeness.

That is all.

My message was largely directed at the original rude poster - but you may have picked the wrong wagon to ride there.

There's an advert for Flora Buttery with Gary Rhodes apparently doing a taste test with random people. At the end the text at the bottom says something along the lines of "Survey of 200 people. 48% preferred Flora Buttery. 45% preferred Lurpak Lighter. 7% expressed no preference".

Hardly a survey I'd shout about and turn into an advertising campaign.

I only saw the Virgin one first time this afternoon during Soccer Saturday and I instantly liked it, very 80's, they've got that spot on.

Loving the PG Tips ad at the mo aswell.

Like it - just saw our price as one of the shops in the background... I remember them (Just)

I think the Advert for Ocean Cruses (or whatever they are called) is very funny as they keep saying dodo. (I cant help snigger and say "hehehe you said dodo")

Do ya reckon they are real life Virgin hostesses and pilot in that ad? Branson has used his staff in ads before. When he launched the on flight beauticians a girl i was at college with, who went on to work for Dickie was in the posters.
