Annoying how easily it gets in your head isn't it - its a really catchy jingle!! Very Happy

Whoever made it needs a payrise ... its a really simple and cheap to make (in advertising terms) advert and has 100% brand recognition/association!! In those terms its genius!! Thumbs Up

118 24 7
give them a call it's directory heaven,
if u need a cab, their service is fab,
if u fancy a curry, and it's there in a hurry.

118 24 7,
send them a text it's directory heaven,
want a kitchen extension, a pizza or pension,
a plumber or sparks, or a place to see sharks.

118 24 7... it's directory heaven!

I hate Moonpig, I would never buy from them,

I actually hate that advert so much i had a massive go at my girlfriend when i found her on the site about to buy a card, i literally forced her to find another company...

But then im ashamed to say that 118 247 tune has bored its way into my psyche, I needed a number this morning and i actually used them... Their advert worked... Evil or Very Mad

The moonpig add is naff but it sticks on your head and thats what advertising is now.
They are a good compay I order off them sometimes and last night I done two cards out for parental units birthdays coming up. Found a class funy card that suited my dad Laughing So although the add is crap they arnt as they have always delivered on time.

I have just got that meerkat add now I thought it was a rival of compare the market Embarassed DUHHhh! Rolling Eyes

Top site! Laughing

I'm getting irritated by the latest RAC ad, but the one I really took a dislike to was that Co-op one that went on forever....boring!

I find most adverts really irritating though, so I'm a bit biased! Rolling Eyes
