    I'm talking about the advertisements at a new developement near the junction of Brewery road and the N11.

    I can't quite decide how much I hate this campaign. It's so incredibly pretentious it's unreal.

    "Few addresses generate this kind of dream". Ooh, buy a house here and in no time you'll be sipping wine in your tux.

    AAaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

    I can't go on.

    Agree entirely, it's beyond pretension if that is even possible. I would love to sit down with whoever came up with the concept and just ask them WHY??? What process did they go through to come up with such ridiculous quotes.

    Glad someone else thought the same as me, I thought I might have been the only one !

    I'd feel like a tit for buying a house there just because I'd be forever associated with that marketing campaign.

    *Shivers all over*

    I think you'll find that its not aimed at students like you who coulnt afford those places in their wildest dreams.

    Not saying the ad isnt crap, but your hardly its target market.

    There target market is way to small with those kind of ads. The only people i can think that might be in any way persuaded by that ads is the 20somethings with more money then sense. Its beyond me why any business would blatently do this. Id love to say i hope itl backfire,but i think we all know it wont!

    OK, what I meant was that if I was in a position financially to buy one I'd feel silly for doing so. It's obviously not aimed at students.

    Btw, how do you know I'm a student? Are you some sort of cyber stalker?! :p
