The one with the man whinging about having to go food shopping on a Saturday morning with his wife and kids and how he wants to walk in the woods instead and how the Co-Op with help him do that?

It is so so so stupid. The man looks weak and pathetic 'talking to his wife' through the TV and then showing him walking into a shop.

Could he not get off his arse one evening and go shopping? Therefore leaving Sat AM for his so wanted walk in the woods? Why is it his wife's fault and why can he only communicate with her through TV? (and yes I know he's an actor etc).

Which ad agency thought up this total dross? Are we supposed to thing 'ahh what a sweet man trying to make her life easier' NO what I thought is what a weedy wanker. And lets face it there is no way a weekly shop can be done in the Co-Op, too small, too expensive - although their fresh fruit and vege is good.

And one more thing, get rid of the bad Scottish voice over 'Gud with Fud' - again total poo.

So far off the mark, must have been done by a group of clueless teenagers.

Who does do that voice over? I thought it might be the long-haired one from Coast. [Or even David Tennant].

Haven't seen the TV version but I hear the radio ones all the time and hate them. It makes no sense anyway, shopping daily will take just as much time as a big shop and won't work for things like washing powder that you only need occasionally.

Online shopping is definitely the way to go.

yes, because there are only 2 scottish accented voice over people - actually no don't forget the one wot read out teh poem in 4 weddings and a funeral

The whole thing sounds like he is going to say 'let's do it online' but it turns out he is actually saying 'so instead I want to go to a different supermarket, which won't have everything, and leave you to solve the problem of the rest of the shopping some other time'

even DH was annoyed!
