As a long time observer, and in the interest of fairness, that advice really needed to be given to both parties. This is very far from being a one sided situation. Jen.

You're right Yogi its just annoying me now and spilling into too many threads.

Receiving responses to my posts is out of my control (after all this is a forum for debate and discussion)

All I can do is no longer post to/about said member which may antagonise nor respond to any of their future posts.

HtH

I always kinda thought Rents and Sprooooot liked winding each other up.

well, doncha you two?

I actually don’t read any animosity in it ... it’s almost like brother and sister ... they are programmed to antagonise!

Oh jeez ... she will hate me for this

but

the youngest has just bought a car

and

the eldest is nearly 30

No problem Pireee

Twas a friendly poke 

Money Supermarket adverts annoy me.  They're utter shit.

That stupid slaphead in hotpants, that stupid fat builder and a 'face off' between them.  Endlessly repeated.  Drives me nuts.

Now their shit theme is He man v Skeletor,  FFS, what are we? All 43 year old men who were into that cack cartoon series when we were 12?

Who are these companies targeting?

Halifax are current using Top Cat for mortgages!!

Surely the people wanting a mortgage won't even know who Top Cat was !!

Have you got any stamps - it's just I need . . .

So go and buy some ... which no one ever does - except me

Do you want pizza, take away anything ..... No - ok

When it arrives

Oh that smells nice can I just have a little bit of yours

10mins later no one has moved

So do you want that tea?

Yeah go on then

I dunno - you decide

No go on - you

That's cos you choose best

Oh you choose this time - it's your turn

That's a fair point.  Ok so first time buyers are getting older and they aren't the only customers for mortgages, but I doubt anyone under 35 gets the Top Cat and Flintstones thing.

Exactly

And the more any advert appears, it's actually counterproductive.

People get sick of having info forced at them.

I will never use MoneySupermarket

Hang on a minute !!!

I'm sure from memory, Top Cat is a bit of a spiv and has never held down a job, lives with a bunch of other spivs and constantly gets into silly bother with the local plod.

Therefore if The Halifax will lend to him should have no problem in securing that £450K I need for me self build bachelor pad.

Erm ... if you look at what Top Cat ends up with using what mortgage The Halifax would allow.

He ends up in a two storey dustbin

Not such a good advert for the Halifax is it?
