Very mundane but riles me every time - these Activia ads. The girl is from the East End of London and has always had an accent, on EastEnders and in real life. But speaks on that bloody ad with a plum in her throat.

So fucking annoying - I am proud of my roots and my accent even if people think I am thick. I hope she realises that I watch those ads and now think she is just completely full of shit.

She sounds like she has got the same cor blimey cockerney accent as she always has imo.

Mind you I don't listen - I just point and laugh at the ghastly jeans.

I like her lovely smile.

Mare11bp · 09/03/2011 20:39

Yes nice teeth, I give her that.

dont like her much myself, thought she was completely mis- cast (if thats the word) in love actually,

MissRead · 09/03/2011 20:40

YANBU, I can't stand her and if you want to be annoyed by her new accent that's fine by me although I agree there are a multitude of other reasons :)

medicalmayhem · 09/03/2011 20:46

oh yeah those light blue jeans in the ad are terrible make her look really hippy! ( as in larger round the hips than she probably is)

shmoz · 09/03/2011 21:05

Oh yikes those jeans....sack the stylist or what. Those jeans are reason enough to stay away from bifidusmadeupname type stuff, if that's the end result

squeakytoy · 09/03/2011 21:06

She look bloody enormous in that ad, its certainly not a look which would encourage you to buy the product..

ssd · 09/03/2011 21:07

its her teeth that get me, I think she borrowed them from Simon Cowell, they are so so white!

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2011 21:11

She's just acting, they tell her what they want and she obliges for a monetary reward.

I feel a bit sorry for you if you feel McCutchenson is a mouth piece for the working classes and has failed you miserably Grin

I agree on the jeans, she must have been paid shed loads to wear those lovelies Shock

limpingbint · 09/03/2011 21:16

I thinks she sounds as common as ever (dons flame proof unflattering jeans......)

teeth are a little too bling

figcake · 09/03/2011 21:19

Gosh - is she still around?

OliPolly · 09/03/2011 21:21

YABU - I know her and she is lovely!

medicalmayhem · 09/03/2011 21:35

she maybe lovely, arent we all Smile but she is still not the best actress in the world, and it suprises me she is still making an income from it all, apart from eastenders, one song that was crap, and love actually what has she done??

pawsnclaws · 09/03/2011 21:41

Honestly, those jeans! DH always shouts "camel hoof alert" when she comes on! She kind of looks like she's wearing multiple pairs of pants underneath them. Why have they made such a young and pretty girl wear the kind of jeans you see advertised in the Daily Telegraph?

Mare11bp · 09/03/2011 22:16

OliPolly - wasn't criticising her personality but do ask her why she has to talk as if she lives on the "right" side of London - not a dig, argubly I am from the "wrong" side of London

Maybe Activia told her to do that and she needs the cash these days?

AgentZigZag - glad you put the laughing face at the end otherwise I may have been offended - since when is accent synonymous/representative of class?

shmoz · 09/03/2011 22:17

What make of jeans are they?

bupcakesandcunting · 09/03/2011 22:17

YANBU she is a div.

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2011 22:18

It's not mare, apologies for my generalisation.

ENormaSnob · 09/03/2011 22:19

Jeans.

AgentZigzag · 09/03/2011 22:22

I think you've overstepped a boundary with that post ENorma, I really do Hmm
