That Boots Annoys Me

There's a Boots advert on TV that really bothers me. We see two women meet in the street during their equally busy days, but look, they both have stinking colds. They go on to talk about all the things they're doing, going shopping, taking the kids swimming, throwing a dinner party, even though they have really bad cold.

Stop doing all that. You are infectious. You are spreading the germs that old people die from! Still proud now?

A dinner party while you have a cold. Are you mad? I bet she spits in the soup because she secretly wants others to get it too.

Stop teaching people to carry on with a bad cold. 39 people have died in the UK this winter from flu, their families have lost a loved one, but you think you're big and clever for going out and sneezing your way round.

If they're making an ad like that they should also make one where, after the women say they're still doing lots with a bad cold, they go and try on shoes even with athlete's foot.

Or still go on her cruise holiday even though she's got the norovirus.

Knobs!
