Does anyone else find intensely annoying the way the man voicing over the Wickes adverts says the name Wickes at the end of each ad. He doesn't say Wicks (to rhyme with Dick's but makes it a longer and somehow much more lame sound. (in the same tone as if saying 'aaaaah what a lovely cuddly puppy'
Almost as annoying as Good with Food pronounced ' gud with fud' in a Scottish accent - just to make the rhyme. ordinarily I love Scottish accents in all their variety.. but that ticked me off.

I can't say I've noticed his accent, but what does annoy me about that advert is the exaggerated noise that the pencil makes.
Really terrible advert that gets on my proverbial tits is the confused.com advert. What is going on? No relevance at all.

Oh gawd, now it's Mathew McFadden (?sp) voicing over the Terribly Clever range for M&S in a 'terribly clever' voice. I am going to switch the box off.

of all the adverts, it's the go compare man that needs to get off my telly! surely its one of the most hated adverts by anyones standards i also have another advert that has to be muted it as soon as it comes on because its just noise i was trying to remember what it was the other day as my OH and I were talking about it.... and couldn't place it then either... probably because i do actually mute it and so never have found out what its advertising ho hum ;D

That drives me INSANE! (Haven't heard/seen the Wickes one yet - no doubt it won't be long before I'm swearing at that one too : As for the Go Compare ads - (I'm hyperventilating just thinking about that crinkly moustachioed tw*t) - please can we stick him in a cage with the HIDEOUS "you buy one, you get one free" shouty man from the Safestyle window ads and make them fight to the death- please please please can we??

Ooh yes, 'Fight, Fight, Fight' - that thought has cheered me up.. Perhaps we could suggest it to Harry Hill.

A quick google search confirms my suspicions ... you are attacking our very own (and almost) 'national treasure' Timothy Spall ... who, I wonder, could enunciate Wickes with more deep feeling and love ... it makes me want to go out and buy up the entire stock of my local store! ;D
