shindigger Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Yes, saw it last night. Apparently wealth is only created when a house is built. Mary Mungo and Midge. The remake. Mary got in to BTL.... Dark Ages. Edited February 11, 2014 by shindigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary got in to BTL.... Dark Ages. No doubt, house BUILDING is wealth creating....but that isnt what a mortgage does...THAT INCREASES THE PRICE.

Emphasis on the "only" that's the inference of the ad. Its pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katchytitle Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sounds desperate, are they in trouble? They get given something like £200m / year from Lloyds as part of the EU settlement to divest branches. They'll turn into fat cats as per usual. Sell mortgage...Sell Sell Sell...doesn't matter what the customer needs or how much debt they end up with just get a mortgage out the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Loo Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 here is the first advert Note how towards the end, where all the world is desperate, where all the sunshine, light and saviours come from.. Disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahBell Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (a) There's a staircase going into the roof of that house but no windows in the roof at all. ( they invest all their money in the UK?

Why else would they try and influence the sheeple with childlike cartoons that create a simple little narrative that says "We are GOOD"?

Disgusting. Where is the bit where the Tory government 'privatised' the hard working peoples bank (which they didn't own) and kept all the cash?

dances with sheeple Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 http://www.resilience.org/stories/2013-04-04/how-i-ve-responded-to-the-financial-crisis I haven`t read all this in detail, it won`t be anything new to people on here, but Triodos bank are at least trying to move in the right direction, although according to this still "creating money from customer deposits"? I have banked with them for years, but await the "Cooperative bank moment" when the core of the healthy shiny apple turns out to be rotten. Should I have more faith?

workingpoor Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 On the tsb advert did anyone pick up on the Scottish independence subliminal message? Propaganda spin machine in full cycle. Disgusting they think people are stupid enough to believe this xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monks Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Are they struggling to get mortgages out the door though? Why else would they try and influence the sheeple with childlike cartoons that create a simple little narrative that says "We are GOOD"? Driving through Wilmslow (affluent Cheshire town) on Sunday and noticed a large sign (with arrow pointing to door) next to the entrance to Barclays, saying something like "The nicest people in Wilmslow walk through these doors". I presume they have something similar on each provincial branch up and down the country. It's advertising at its lowest common denominator.

long time lurking Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Are all these adverts due to the end of FLS and banks needing to find funding from savers ? the new Nationwide add is directed towards saves rather than borrower`s just like the TSB add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappycocco Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The key is to only employ from the wild west for house building. That way houses keep on developing issues requiring regular attendance, which will keep the economy growing on housing. If a builder works through your door and you can hear the spurs on his boots, you know your supporting the economy. Landlord sent a plumber round recently and christ all mighty the guy was so heavy handed, a real economic growth master. So out of lloyds and tsb, which is the one that does the dodgy banking stuff now lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Necessities Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I know this isn't the point - but those are really nicely made animations (if you turn the sound off and forget that it is for a bank). (I'm an animator/illustrator by trade) Assuming they were also made in the UK (which given the "local" message you would hope that they would be - plus I think I know the agency that would have worked on it), then you are looking at easily a substantial six figure sum for each of those ads Plus paying for the voice over (Patrick Stewart isn't it? I don't expect he comes cheap!) I do get frustrated when I see that pretty much the only way to create something that looks that good is to either get into Pixar or another studio (statistically unlikely) or to work for some agency on behalf of a shitty bank / car company or beer company. There doesn't seem to be a market for my "House Price Inflation is Evil" animations, haha.

billybong Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Raise you an Equitable Life advert Their available adverts seem to be getting very thin on the ground now - like they've been "redacted". A bit of soothing background music still in that one though. The obscene lies from those days take some beating but TSB do seem to be making efforts to edge it right now.

billybong Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) In the TSB advert visibility seems to be extremely low due to fog and mist. That'll likely be due to evaporation from incoming flood water. Edited February 11, 2014 by billybong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if they are done somewhere other than UK that would be worth flagging up on Facebook of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
