    Eau de toilette....= cologne. Toilettes = WC (pronounced VaySay), or chiottes for the less refined :biggrin: Toilette..... (spot the subtle difference) the act of making oneself clean/pretty/clothed. Here endeth today's lesson ;)

      Ahh now it makes sense. My PG Tips Avez vous un toilet just resulted in me being splashed by water.

          We like the Oddbox.com ad where the guy talks into a cucumber/corgette.. Great idea. Does anyone here use this?

            I've never heard of it.

            The ad that I find annoying is the Omaze one, the way that woman half sings everything that she is saying makes me want to turn it off.
            I think she does a couple of other ads as well and talks exactly the same.

              I hate the new Weetabix advert. Someone should go to jail for it. I mean, pouring black coffee on Weetabix? It's a travesty.

                  Just saw one, the London house with two neat Minis. I can do without that voice too.

                    I had a workmate who had two dry Weetabix spread with butter for his breakfast most mornings. Mind you, he was Australian!
