Here is some exciting breakdown cover

The Green Flag has hit the screens with their now ageing “Boring Breakdown Cover” ad. No, that is what they call it, where different couples are stranded in their cars after breaking down and quite clearly the husbands had not bought breakdown cover from Green Flag. The adverts message is about speedy response times and the fact you can buy breakdown cover online for £25, which I have to admit is some deal. It seems that bring couples waiting a long time for another recovery service, lay with horns and sing songs to keep themselves occupied.
The problem is, I find the advert equally boring. It sets the scene well, but by making us feel bored, does that not make us switch off? Well it does me and I would rather see a toy Green Flag recovery vehicle jump over the Tower Bridge in London, than watch 2 boring couples.
