Seen two this week, which made me groan.


A soft furnishings shop in Nottingham called SOFA SO GOOD, and


some margarine from Asda called YOU BUTTER BELIEVE IT.


What next I ask myself.

For full on cheese, you can't beat radio ads. There's one on the local radio station we have on at work for this garden/home hypermarket called Hollybush with an incredibly cheesy song, but the woman singing it thinks she's Celine Dion!


'Whatever the weather, rain or shine, you're gonna have an amazing time, home and garden shopping at its best, come and put us to the test...


HOLLY-BUSH! HOLLY-BUSH!


There's a million ways you're gonna make new friends!


HOLLY-BUSH! HOLLY-BUSH!


With all the fun and laughter that will never end...


HOLLY-BUSH!


You'd better come back to hol-lie-bush!'

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?
