Title: Halifax Howard
Post by: loulou on August 27, 2005, 01:26:03 am
Yesterday while shopping at the metrocentre, went into the Halifax bank for some cash and met Howard from the Halifax advert. Just thought I'd share that with you. Anyway people were queuing for his autograph and I said to my friend I bet someone puts his signed picture on ebay. I just looked and there they are signed pics of Howard.

Howard Brown is not a celebrity.  He is a genuine Halifax bank manager.

But with very bad eyesight!

My eyesight is not too good. I wear glasses for reading and on computer. They are red or dead ones that I bought especially because I liked the nice case. I have problems with lenses because the optician says my eyes are too rugby ball shaped or some rubbish like that.

I know who you mean. I have to turn the Tv over when his adverts are on because the songs get on my nerves. In fact, most adverts get on my nerves.

I find most adverts annoying and a lot of them i don't understand the connection between the ad and the product. But some adverts are so funny. I like the Lynx ones.

The kind of advert I hate the most is anything where they get some dancing toddlers/giggling babies and play a sort of 'bouncy' song from the 50s. It's so utterly lazy; you can just imagine some bored creative writing it at 5pm when he really wants to go to the pub, thinking 'silly old housewives will love it'.

I hate them ads where kids wear them pull up nappies.

What about the adverts where two women talk about something womanly and intimate like thrush or tummy bloating and they're all confessional and secretive and hen one gives the other one the solution? I hate them. I would never stroll into a friends kitchen and launch into such a personal topic.

Thank god! I thought maybe I was just imagining it and women had chats like that all the time.


Do you remember the Charmin toilet one where the two sisters met up regularly to discuss their favourite loo rolls? Ridiculous...

A few days ago a lady (who I didn't know) phoned the library to renew her books.  She then proceeded to tell me the reason she couldn't come in was that she had cystitis plus lots of other unwelcome detail.  She finished off by saying that the worst thing was you couldn't tell anybody about it!

My brother gets all embarrassed every time a womans ad comes on. He says there is no need to advertise Tampax as women need them and know where to get them from.


I like the Tena lady ad and I want to know at what age will I wee myself everytime I laugh?

Many of the above comments are part of the reason
why I quit working in advertising and started up my
sweet shop.

At least they've stopped trying to persuade you that the best thing to do when you're having your period is to go hang-gliding in white trousers!

Only if you are wearing that brand of towel though.



My boyfriend hates the 'womens' adverts too.
