    I'd do it for  the usual fee. Working for Johnson pays rather well. 
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Hmm not sure about that ... females that get too close seem to end up getting groped and/or with an increase in family size :open_mouth:

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    💡 Maybe Theresa May could be drafted in to do it ... for all her failings (and there were several) I don't think she's ever been accused of out and out deceit.

    Media Control!

    Media control is just demonical rot.

    Has anyone counted the age, gender and ethnicity balance on adverts these days? It is so different from what it was 20 years ago yet still so different from the balance in the country as a whole.

    I've definitely noticed the odd bit of cultural appropriation.

    Check out the percentage of any particular 'minority' group within the population and then compare it to the presence in adverts.  Definitely an imbalance.

    John Lewis and Waitrose seem to be losing the plot these days. John Lewis recently advertised a party dress for young girls - the style was called Lollita. Not maybe the best choice of name.

    But Waitrose are at it too. I saw their online Christmas order page had this advertisement. Does anyone else feel that they employed models from ZombiesRUs  for the photoshoot?


    The lady at the front appears to be giving the "evil eye".  She would be an excellent choice to promote Grimms Fairy Tales. I don't think I'd risk eating anything she was offering :D
