Absolutely detest this holiday ad where a guy goes on holiday as an 'ogre' and during the holiday as he relaxes turns back into the real 'man'. It's way too long and boring too.

Haven't seen it, but it's a common phenomenon!
Well the advert obviously worked because you knew the name of the holiday company and used it as the heading to your "question".

Except it is Thomson not Thompsons.

I didnt actually know the name of the holiday company, I googled it ! Neh neh.
When I first saw the ad. - I thought the ogre a dead-ringer for Piers Morgan.
I think it's a metaphor that many people will relate to.

And it very neatly (for these cash straightened times) repositions the package holiday as a necessity of regeneration rather than an extravagance.
I agree popple. Also, can't stand the James Nesbitt ones. Grrrr !!!
