118-118 - Got YOUR Number?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

So what do we all think of the 118-118 ads then?

Here in Preston Park we find them as powerfully addictive as cake and we sit glued to the set whenever any of them come on; the original seminal Old Folks Home Classic Of Our Time; the epochal but tragically under-rated 'Straight Through' sequel; and of course the cheesy Rocky-based epic which is right up there alongside Ben Hur in the all-time Great Moments In Cinematic History. With a special mention to the little kid, complete with the hair and the moustache who toddles off in completely the wrong direction towards the end. A finely-crafted masterpiece. Straight through!

For any fellow 118-118 junkies out there, may I strongly recommend this link:

Tom, get out more mate.

 

[WATFORD O]

great inventive adverts!

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Certainly more memorable than 11 88 88.

 

[JJ McClure]

Quality adverts. Although my mrs did call them the other day and said their service was crap.

 

[Rowdey]

Good ad's, poncy service and their costs are more expensive than 118888.
Despite me phonetically spelling my request to 118118 they got it wrong and gave me another company instead..
When i complained, they offered to send me a cheque to reinburse me..for 60p..!
Clearly i'm going to cash it, but:
a: 60p?-Isn't that quite a bit of cash for a directory assistance ?
b: doesn't it cost a business about 45p to write a cheque in the first place?
