These ads are so patronising and yet they are just a few decades old, within the lifetime of many ABers. Does everyone see the funny side of these nowadays?

(There's probably a couple of News posters who are thinking "if only we could go back to the good old days")

Plenty !!!!!!!

I've just seen the morrisons advert where they say they give you a Christmas and new Years voucher and must save receipts

Is there a British ad amongst them? I'm not suggesting that it did not occur in the UK but the vast majority of those ads are from the US (with at least one from Australia).

Of course the submissive, subservient female stereotype is outdated but have you not witnessed the current British trend of male bashing in advertisements?
