I eat Sainsbury's Basics muesli. Costs 52p.
The most expensive ingredients in muesli are dried fruit and nuts. I pick them both out. So with a cheaper version I have the muesli I always wanted (I like raisins, the only fruit in this one). Oh, I'd have it slightly less sweet, but Alpen is sweeter.

What's bothering me today - as it does from time to time.
Bloody foreign adverts!
Badly dubbed!
If you want to sell me something, at least make a British advert.

Jeez.

American or European, I'm not a racialist.
I just find it patronising - like we won't notice? The man in the car ad who paints his garage (with the disappearing internal window btw) is told he'll be a Papa while the dubbing says Daddy.

The BMW ad which occasionally shows the car driving on the left, but in vistas never seen in this country, and with a UK style reg in the close ups.

The Chinese boy on the toilet, badly dubbed with a British accent when anyone can tell from the quality of the picture it's a US advert rather than UK.

The Gaviscon firefighters ad where the accents are Yorkshire and the uniforms are American.

Argh.
