Was randomly surfing on youtube earlier, and came across this classic VS commercial.

Enjoy.

That is a good advert for VS when trying to encourage business travellers.

Now why can't SRB be in all of the Virgin Group adverts. I bet he could get more people on the trains if he was in those adverts last year instead of the historic film characters[:?]

A very typical Hong Kong ad. The story is about a friendly old lady(she is speaking Cantonese) sharing her experiences and happy family story with a Cantonese speaking crew. I am not a good translator hope everyone can understand it.

Old lady: Your skin easy to get dry because of your job, I show you how to maintain.
Crew smile

Old lady: Might I call your Chinese name instead?

Crew: oh, very cute
old lady: look, I took it when the baby was three months old; and look at this one, I took it when he/she was eight months old. Very cute.

old lady pick up the phone,
old lady: Hello? is that you, baby? (speak to the crew) Listen, this is my grandchild

VO: We have Chinese Flight Attendents. They are able to speak your language.

Wow that is an old one......pre-J2000 seats in J and the putting green that used to be in the old LHR Clubhouse if I'm not mistaken.

My fav. is still the Upper Class Miss Piggy limo advert [y]
