Everyone bashed them and hated them and moaned about them, and now they are gone!

And now we have this weird and annoying woman back, and her stupid 'deep and meaningful non-poetry...'

'she went to every game in her 40s and 50s, now she's in her 90s me mam is still a fan but she gets so excited she cant watch it on tv anymore..... together we wait ....to hear the score..'.

What IS that shit? Hmm

Like I said. Bring back Flo and Joan!!!

hey are touring the UK at the moment and supposed to be really funny when not restricted TV rules.

By really funny and not being restricted I think you mean they just add a random "fuck" to their songs and giggle like they are being so cool.

no Flo and Joan are irratting I hope they never come back

I didnt know they got death threats although Imm not surprised - women in public are always are harshly judged when advertising something, i.e. getting paid lots of money. Sue Perkins got bollocjed for her Admiral ads too.

God I hate those annoying sisters more than anything, ever.

The bad poet woman with a questionable grip on her memory is also irritating, but her crap verses are preferable to those twee, smirking sisters.

I liked them. Always wondered how they stopped themselves from singing 'for now it'll doodle' straight after 'roof over my noodle' though.

Maybe just me :)

Why do banks feel the need for such constant and earnest advertising anyway?
I go in the bank about once a year, maybe less. I wouldn't care if there was just one bank for the whole UK as long as it had a decent mobile app.

@Elffederico that Prudential ad was 1991!Shock

I hate banking adverts when they try to be funny or act like they are your friend and have your best interest at heart. I know the type of interest they're really into.

They had death threats Shock

I prefer the sisters singing to the poems. There's one on at the moment I think it's a woman in a burgundy top. I've usually got the TV on in the background so all I hear is this voice and I have to mute it. It's not the voice it's the pattern of speech and the intonation it switches me off and brings out my irritation. So fake profound and worthy and trying to tap into the nation's psyche etc.

TSSDNCOP · 13/04/2018 11:05

What on earth would you want to kill them for?

There are people I can imagine inciting such feeling, but a couple of girls singing really??
