Sadly the Aussies will know no different and think its a quality advert!!!!!!!Left OZ for UK in December so we have been enjoying good quality TV and adverts.
They just scream and shout and think that will entice people to come into their shop...........well people with no brain !
The ad for WA salvage used to make us laugh .........when the man in a vest and knotted hankie on his head would shout .............."We not fancy but we're cheap " !!!!!!!!!!

Thank your lucky stars you aren't in Adelaide. They have a carpet guy there who's entire advertising campaign is based on the word "haggle". His TV ads are 30 seconds of him outside his store shouting "YA GOTTA HAGGLE HAGGLE. YA GOTTA HAGGLE" His only redeeming quality is that he's sort of hot looking.

Actually, as the 'most annoying advert', I think you may be a tad off with your assumption of the Australians..

Hahah, so true! Is Tiger Super Barn still running? Their ads were so spectacularly bad, I actually looked forward to them.

I think the John Huges advert is annoying, I bet John Hughes is a secret cross dresser with a penchant for wearing ladies panties, bras and tight blouses and skirts at the weekend.

He hides behind a disguise of a car salesman.

Does John Hughes look like a panty sniffer? You bet he does.


Oh yes, I dont like that ginger Irish bloke, bloody hell I cant remember the advert - he is annoying as well.

However, they dont annoy me that much as I rarely if ever turn over.

back to R.A.M- it says at the bottom of the advert that rugs a million are not closing down- they are just pulling everyones pud - shame- as it DOES rank among the most annoying ads on tv
