Like the sodding Nationwide one, and John Lewis ones.
I love both companies but I hate the ads.

I used to love the Aldi adverts. Now they've got a breathy little girl voice song on that just gives me the rage!!! Get some fucking Metallica on some of them!

Breathy women singing 80s songs can fucking do one.
As can the adverts where a load of people get together in a field to all work together in a heartwarming way to make a cup of tea or a fucking burger or some shit.
