I have long had an aversion to adverts for Vanish. Not that I have anything against the product - it seems to work just fine - but the adverts make me want to throw things at the TV. Why has no-one called the police when this strange woman appears in their gardens and homes without any form of invitation? If it happened to me, once I had calmed down from the shock, I would have her pinned to the floor with her arms behind her back (not pleasant for her given my weight).
Well, now I have another ad that makes me seethe - SlideRobes! The ad starts with a woman looking wistfully at a skanky pair of old shoes that really should have been thrown out years ago. The camera pans upward to show a wall with one or two loose storage arrangements. The wall is (approximately) three feet from the edge of the window. The next time we see the same room, the lady has had her SlideRobes fitted and she is all dreamy and serene as she gently pushes the door shut - all very nice...EXCEPT...the front edge of the sliding door is still only three feet from the edge of the window!! This means that, far from the simple solution of having the wardrobe fitted against the existing wall, they would have had to knock the wall out completely - I can't believe that this would be an 'inexpensive' solution!
