Robert dyas are wayy off the mark with sexuality

[DyslexicScientist]

I'm really about this.

Who thought it would be a good idea in this day and age. Maybe in the 90s

Brilliant viral marketing ploy. It's so cringey, it's good fodder for every news outlet to pick up and get viewers to.

Why is it a female story?

DM is so sexist .

Brilliant viral marketing ploy.

^this. And I love it!

I've never heard of Robert Dyas either.

well it made me roar laughing - it's obviously tongue in cheek and very silly

Thanks Mitzy glad I am not the only one. Looks like it sells stuff I can easily get from anywhere else so I am not missing out.

I thought it was very funny.

And it has a point, drills, Christmas trees and veg shredders are perfectly suitable for people of all types

Hahahahahahaha

I thought it was really funny and they've had over 250,000 hits for an ad that looks like it cost about a tenner to make.

It's really funny. I can't imagine why anyone would think it was serious.

Never heard of Robert dyas either, nearest 1 to me is in Solihull 85 miles away. We do have The Range which looks quite similar, although i'm not sure if they sell drills for gay and straight people, will check with customer services next time i pop in

That's my nearest one too mum. We have The Range a bit nearer which does look very similar.

We've got one in Cambridge, I can't say I shop there often though. Maybe it's because I'm confused about my sexuality but don't tell DH

I think it's funny and it's all over Twitter so it's working. Pity there's none near me - never been but I would now.

I love that, it's absolutely barking.

Love how the bi person is like about them just mentioning bisexuality once and then reverting to 'gays and straights'. Typical!

That Marcus is quite dishy.

if you go on their Facebook page you can see their (apparently) actual Christmas ad which is much more what you might expect (reminds me of 1970s Woolworths ad).

Reminds me of the black bin bags song in Phoenjx nights

I love this, it's hilarious! Can't believe people would interpret it as anything other than a joke.

They're taking the piss out of the idea that people's sexuality has anything to do with the way they shop.

And there aren't any lesbians. WTF?

I think I just watched the whole thing with my face like D:

All you people that don't shop in Robert Dyas are missing out, I tells ye!

I actually do love their stores and go there more often than The Range as they are in two of my local towns. And the staff are always really nice and helpful.

I was a bit [sceptical] but it did make me chortle.

I used to go to the one in Maidstone. Many many years ago. Didn't know they were still in business.
