Saying you like them is the same as saying you love being brainwashed

The ones who are giving to charity are just alleviating their own inner guilt.

Admen are third in my list of con men - behind bankers and politicians
Margaret, because I like the advert doesn't make me more likely to purchase anything from John Lewis.

I buy what I need....or what I like, regardless of the blurb that the admen feed the viewer.
Like you, I look into the things I am likely to buy. I am not one for impulse purchases.
I just find the advert more entertaining than some of the programmes.....and I am not a great fan of TV.
