manofstrad Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Depends where you live. There are plenty of people who fit that description where I live, but many places in Sheffield are far removed from such ideals. It's a shame I know, but it's just the way it is!

ohmyword Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yeah, that Envirophone guy who screams "WONGA! WONGA! WONGA!" at the top of his voice. He is quite popular I think. I think it's cool really. Imagine when he's on a night out in bars. I bet all the girls come up to him and he screams "WONGA! WONGA! WONGA!" to impress them all. It is a sure fire success maker! It's like he was a nobody in life. An absolute nobody but then Envirophone spotted his potential and catapulted him to fame and glory. Now the girls won't leave him alone I bet and it's really good that a good, normal, honest man like he probably is gets the recognition he has probably been searching for all his life. Good on him!

JFKvsNixon Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I never realised that adverts were meant to be a social commentary, I'd always thought that they were designed to try to pursued us to spend some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scozzie Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 yeh, they even show working class wrong, its a joke those women on the halifax advert in the studio, now who really is that happy and lucky at work to be fooling around in a studio also, anything with women in are always young thin and sexy types, the blokes are always smart and handsome it makes you wonder why there is so much pressure on poeple nowadays to look and sound a certain way The Halifax actually use Halifax staff for their ads.

saxon51 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The Halifax actually use Halifax staff for their ads.The blonde on the phone who drops her mug is an actress who appears in one of The Soldiers music videos. However, any ad could claim to be using their own staff. After all, once you agree to appear in an advert, and accept a wage for doing so, you do become an employee of the company during the duration of the advert.

Do Halifax actually make their own adds, or do they commission an advertising agency to make them for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Do Halifax actually make their own adds, or do they commission an advertising agency to make them for them? Judging by the number of professional actors they include I'd say an agency. Sarah Applewood who drops the mug of tea. Fliss Walton Isa, Isa, baby. Edited to add; Howard Brown was, however, a real customer service adviser for Halifax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
