Advert for a Quooker boiling-water tap featuring a child in pyjamas using it was plainly the choice of a deranged marketing executive
Priced at between £1,150 and £1,600 depending on specification, a Quooker boiling-water tap with a flexible pull-out hose is anything but cheap but an advert for it, also, is anything but appropriate.
Two stories to keep beside you
Anything but Dry
Vineyard in Napa, California that previously supplied Opus One and currently supplies Mondavi offered for sale 4120 Dry Creek Road in the Oak Knoll District of Napa, California’s name is a little perplexing given that it produces a product that’s anything but ‘dry’.

As a pensioner I cannot believe anyone would waste £1600 on a hot water tap. A kettle can be bought for £15 in my local Argos.
The parents of that child must be very pushy and desperate to have made it participate in such a stupid advert.

I would buy one.
Saves time!
The buffoon who came up with this advert should be sent to Alan Sugar!
