Ant and Dec are advertising Santander. What a comedown after Jessica Ennis-Hill.
WIBU to close my accounts?

Slightly confused why an celebrity on an advert would make you consider closing your bank acc down ...?

coconuttelegraph · 01/11/2019 19:40

On which scale are Ant and Dec a comedown from Jessica Ennis-Hill?

Do you only want to bank with banks advertised by world class sportspeople?

That's nothing Blue are advertising boilers. Grin

I think it's clever that Ants and Dec's names are similar to Santander.

@SirGawain

YABU. And snobby.

I work for Santander. Personally, I’d rather we weren’t financing someone with a drink driving conviction but from what I understand the deal was signed before then.

I assume all of Ant and Decs' finances are transacted through Santander and if not why not, since they are advertising them..?

1Morewineplease · 01/11/2019 20:36

It’s probably because Ant and Dec are such superstars that the bank decided to offer them squillions to advertise their brand. Santander is a huge bank. That’s probably why.
Let’s not forget the likes of Julia Roberts plugging a perfume or George Clooney flogging coffee capsules.
Think you’re being a tad snobbish.

Exactly my point and surely a good reason to cancel the contract.
I’m not aware that Jessica Ennis-Hill has done anything to warrant public censure.

@SirGawain, did you really think an audience of Mumsnetters would understand your humour?

MrsToothyBitch · 01/11/2019 21:02

Yanbu. I preferred it when they had Jensen Button. Grin

SirGawain · 01/11/2019 21:07

KamikazeIdiot Thanks for that. I did think the replies took my (lighthearted) remarks rather too seriously!

I had an email from them with MC Grindah (PJDN) featuring in it. I was quite impressed!
