Snippet of Good Advice!

I don't normally take any notice of the advertisements on TV but whilst fiddling in between parts of a programme there was an advert running. I think it was for Surf washing powder and the important advice was .........
"always keep away from children!" spot on I thought.

Good advice, grubby little blighters if the three of us menaces were anything to go by.
Good times.

I was watching John Cleese take it out with a bush on a police car(faulty towers) but could not remember what it was advertising and not seen this advert since.
Is it only me that thinks adverts have no bearing on what they advertise

there is a reason for this very particular advice (never occurred to me, but some do look like sweets)

if he had only went to Specsavers he would have been able to see the police signs and differentiate it from his own car

I find the adverts for perfumes maybe good viewing but they never mention what they smell like.

Certainly the smelly ads do seem extreme, but the cars - do they ever mention the engine the economy or not, no, it's got to look good in a window or puddle.
