Is it just me or is there something a little weird about how advertisers show their house "sets" for different products?


A prime example is adverts for vacuum cleaners/ carpet cleaners where the sofas are covered in crumbs and pet hairs or there is a big pile of dirt on the carpet.

Obviously the fake family are so messy that they need the product but most real people don't have homes like that (or do they?).


Other examples are massive luxury kitchens in food delivery or food kits adverts or bathrooms bigger than the inside of the Tardis for toilet cleaners


All quite surreal if you ask me.

I think you're well aware of what these evil bsta4s are up to Spartacus. Fancy a trip down semiotics lane?

SpringTime, are you trying to say they are selling me a dream.

Well no thank you very much the one where I go to work naked is bad enough hence why I don't go out much KidKruger or Socalise DR as I don't want that dream expanding into a naked trip to the pub (let's be honest absolutely no one would want to see that)


No thank you indeed, one bad dream at a time is enough for me

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
