I've seen and heard a few of these type of corporate attempts to be playful, which is supposed to bring a smile, but in realilty sounds partonising. I don't wish to be spoken too as if I am a nursery school child. One of the worst is using the toilet on a Virgin train, one thing to stimulate bladder shyness in me is have a female voice talking to me when I am trying to empty my bladder. Next on the irritation list is the crappy Heart radio waffleverts consisting of a screechy sprog blabbering on for 20 seconds without getting to the point. Needless to say any adverts like that and the radio is switched off before I get to hear what the advert is advertising, thus having the opposite affect on me than was intended.

Oh, mate!
I had hoped my post’s irony wasn’t too subtle.
And who knows? You may one day really need a shoulder to cry on.
Alright mate? 😃

Curious though, 13 year old Brits don't say woohoo?
Just ageing Millennials, as they accelerate into middle age. They have always been the wine generation.

Old people in "can't cope with how young people speak" shocker. It's as old as time itself
Look in the mirror. Growing up we all used language in a way our parents didn't. You're turning into your parents, deal with it

I f#$%^@g hate it when companies try to be friendly and chummy. Getting a car insurance quote and the cheery geezer asks "is it ok to call you Bernard?", to which I replied "no it isn't". Show some professionalism in your actions and some respect for the people that put the food in your mouth.

Quite - and better be quick with the quaffing.
Elsewise some young person might be along to help you with your "First World problems"
They shouldn't really be drinking wine either.Curious though, 13 year old Brits don't say woohoo?
Are you down with the kids?
It takes more than a photo with the Hoff to prove it though. 😄
