Hands up who has a lounge as big as those in the Ads,

I'm not shy, I was lucky to buy a large terrace, but one of those sofas would obliterate the whole of the downstairs.

Sofa adverts fill an important economic niche.

There are thousands of tiny liittle people who want to be models but are too small to wear normal clothes. Making cheap sofas look bigger by curling up elf-like at one end is their only way to make a crust.

A sofa hocking shop over the road from our studio has had a closing down sale....for five fucking years.

Oh there's been Butlins, Disneyworld Florida.

Let's not get started on kitchen ads either...

I've still got the 2-seat Habitat one that I had when I moved into the house, and it's twenty years old. I've got to replace a broken spring on it, but other than that..it's still in really good condition.

Fixed your post for you.

But the price of houses these days is a whole different rant entirely...

I feel sorry for my bro who lives in London, our house is about the same price as a one bed flat down there!

A one bed flat here ($_north) is still too expensive for me to be able to afford to buy one. And they're going up month by month.

A house - forget it.

And I'm not exactly badly paid.

Maybe if you cut back on luxuries like prostitutes and food, like...

There's an outdoor shop in Keswick in the Lake District that has two signs. One says "Closing Down Sale!". The other says "Factory Outlet Bargains!". They rotate them every few weeks.

Disneyworld Florida wasn't an ad, but something from the news, with them kicking some old guy that looks exactly like Santa out, claiming that there's already a Santa in Disneyworld, and that he's a Disney character, and that he should stop confusing kids
