Specsavers advert

[CaroleF]

We were watching tv this evening - while a delicious supper was cooking I might add - and the Specsavers ad came on, the one where the girl gets off the train, goes up to the wrong man and kisses him - quite enthusiastically. My husband (who doesn't usually watch adverts, let along comment on them) said that if it was a man getting off the train and going up to a woman on the platform and kissing her equally enthusiastically it would be seen as an assault - do people think that is right? I must admit I think he has a point. Would Specsavers have put an advert on with things the other way round? By the way, supper was good, courtesy mainly of Ocado!

I think the advert is very funny but you make a very valid point - had the roles been reversed, all hell could have been let loose.

Talking about adverts - and taking into account my weakness for giggling (especially if I see something which amuses me onboard) - the Saga advert has just made life very difficult for me.

It's the character in the advert stood in his underpants j j j j jiggling about whilst ironing - my husband kindly commented that it was a member of staff and could be one of several staff members we know - and I can tell you right now, if any of those staff members are on board it's going to be a bad dose of the giggles for me!

I think I may well be spending some meal times under the tablecloth!

Not sure about the rights and wrongs of the kssing question, but I am spending a lot of time hanging around on railway platforms, just in case .......

Merv
it is an advert for Specsavers, not guide dogs

As James May would say, on tv before the watershed (so it must be okay Mr Moderator, Sir) - "Cock"

He's only jealous of my stunning good looks and my endearing charm (and my modesty and shyness)

Merv, you do remember I have met you, don't you??

[Mervyn and Trish]

Sorry. Which one were you again?

I find the Specsavers ad with the partially sighted sheep shearer so funny - although I feel sorry for the poor dog! It's a wonder the RNIB have not complained in this age of political correctness.
However i cannot knock Specsavers as, athough I have my sight tested and contact lens supplied through another optician, I use Specsavers for my frames as they are about a third of the price and good quality.
