Since the beginning of August TV channels have featured adverts for children’s return to school. Parents give their verdict.
Advertisers are obsessed with the ‘next thing’. Halloween over? Time to run Christmas adverts. Christmas over? Time to run Easter egg adverts. Easter over? Time to run holiday adverts. Start of the school summer holiday? Time to run return to school adverts.
Parents are getting very annoyed at the constant barrage of adverts aimed at their wallets.
Geri Mander (37), catering manager – “they can fuck right off, and when they have fucked off as far as they can go they can fuck off some more”.
Carrie Cashand (Pisces), sales assistant – “do they think we are thick and will forget to get new clothes for our kids? Arseholes”.
Cath Arssis (brunette), pizza technologist – “I get most of my kids clothes from the local Freecycle group and secondhand shops. There are great online shops for some charities such as Oxfam, Salvation Army and the British Heart Foundation“.
