Like everyone, I'm baffled by this - but I think with a tweak it could have worked. I don't do my Christmas shopping at Argos, not because I think they only do toys, but because it's where I'd buy a drill or a kettle, not a nice gift item. Maybe that's the perception they needed to break?
Why is Will from the Inbetweeners* doing a TV advert spreading awareness that Argos sells more than just toys? Of course it does, it’s Argos. I feel like there’s a whole cultural perception of Argos that’s passed me by

Study suggests human brain development has four pivotal ‘turning points’ at around the ages of nine, 32, 66 and 83
Scientists have identified five major “epochs” of human brain development in one of the most comprehensive studies to date of how neural wiring changes from infancy to old age.
The study, based on the brain scans of nearly 4,000 people aged under one to 90, mapped neural connections and how they evolve during our lives. This revealed five broad phases, split up by four pivotal “turning points” in which brain organisation moves on to a different trajectory, at around the ages of nine, 32, 66 and 83 years.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.

The stuff on X about disinfo accounts reminds me of the time I tried to get a Cybernat account which was obviously Russian or something to say which was their favourite sketch character on "Naked Video" - something which any true Scot would be able to do but this particular account couldn't.
