Default 'Barbara' from the ANZ adverts

You know 'Barbara' in the ANZ adverts on the tv? The manager at A Bank who has the terrible customer service skills.

Is that a bloke or a burd? At first I thought it was a bloke in drag but now I'm not too sure

Never considered 'her' being a bloke. I'm sure she's female, and probably not bad looking in real life

You mean the adverts that are rather similar to the Nationwide adverts with Mark Benton in the UK?

Its a she - she's a comedy actress, I've seen her on Comedy Inc (I think it was)

I swear she used to work for Westpac. I had to speak to her whenever I phoned Westpac's 'customer frustration service'.

I think there are alot of rather strong minded scary women 'of a certain age' like that here....I find myself looking up to and wanting to run away from them at the same time

I love that ad too
