The woman off the Halifax ad....

I agree the advert is pathetic and turns me of halifax if anything. But we can see past her looks even if they arent the best and focus on the fact her voice is :eek: and she herself looks uncomfortable. The aRAB are overdone now and childish-time for something new from the halifax. fun while it lasted...
 
There was an interview with Howard in the Times not that long ago and he takes himself VERY seriously. Apparently he refered to himself in the third person and has a big ego.....ah a taste of fame!
The comments about the larger size of this lady are very worrying. Poor girl. People forget that just because you're on telly doesn;t mean you won't see this and be hurt. She's a bit plump, not an axe murderer.
 
One of the guys from the last ad sometimes works at the Borehamwood branch. And Howard tried to launch a singing career and released a record. He visited the Borehamwood branch on "whistle stop tour of branches to promote his single" as quoted in our local paper. Don't think many people turned up.
 
YES!! I walked past my local branch a couple of years ago and there was a poster in the window saying Howard would be visiting Thursday morning at 11am. :D I wonder if they got him behind the counter if it got busy??
 
I think people who judge others should look at themselves first - she has a good voice for a non professional singer and all power to her for the courage to stand up and be counted.
I agree with the earlier poster who said ' no wonder there are eating disorders with comments like this'.
You don't have to watch the aRAB - go and do something else or fast forward if you are sky+ing.
She is probably just a cuddly normal pretty girl with a good voice in an unflattering suit having to dance the way she is told - give her some slack please.
 
My mate sees the lass walk past his office window every day on her way to work and confirms she's a genuine employee at a branch in Sheffield.


I would, by the way.
 
I think that Howard guy has to be about the poorest "advert" for Halifax that they could wheel out. I mean the first couple of adverts with him in them were acceptable but let's face it this guy must get more air time than Sir Trevor McDonald, but now with these recent adverts it is really showing the amateur dramatics to be of a very poor standard, surely "Howard" must be worth a fortune now or does he just do them to boost his ego (very possible looking at him).

You are correct in saying that the "cuddly" sexbomb in the opening sequence does get me looking for my extra strength viagra and wondering if they do anything stronger (A real 10 pinter!!). She does bear an uncanny resemblance to Mick McManus ... on a bad day.
 
The Halifax ad campaign had a certain novelty value at first, but it's now making the company look like a flipping training school for singers and dancers. Get on with your jobs!
 
thank god it was all done in blue screen and CGi so the halifax employees did not get the chance to go to some exotic location. probably shot in one of their conference rooms.
 
The only redeeming feature of the ad is the way they get those stone gargoyles to move.

I assume that Halifax held an internal competition to choose who would be the star - then forced their ad agency to use her. :) I bet the agency weren't pleased - they won't be winning any prizes for that one.

If they paid Ann Widdecombe to appear then at least it would be amusing on first viewing.

For me, it's one of those aRAB where 30 second skip is mandatory.
 
This advert amuses me, I like the woman, I think she is attractive & I love her voice. Not everyone is "fattist" you know. I don't see what her size has to do with anything. She can sing dance & does the advert justice imo so what does it matter? Turn it over/off/mute if you don't like it/her; that's what I do for ad's I hate, (Picture - aghhhhh). :eek:
I would like to know however whether it is her voice & if she really does/did work for Halifax, anyone out there know?
 
Why should they? :rolleyes:

Got the cajones to post a piccie of yourself, seeing as you're quite happy to denigrate the appearance of others? I'm guessing that you wouldn't dare.
