    I know this is supposed to be funny and silly, but gosh, this is incredibly stupid, even for a perfume promo.

    Where is the very British love of ginger and pepper, of curries and piquante sauces, of flowers of various sorts, the Thames, having a walk down the street, warm, slightly too loud pubs and Imperial pints of beer? Or deep glasses of claret and wedges of Stilton? Rambling in the outdoors amongst flowers? And of course the variety of people?

    Instead we get this bleached out, vapid person in a premium address apartment. Sigh. Well, I guess.

      It was not as much fun as it ought to have been, agree. The cutest spot was the cold open when she bumped into the boom mic.

    Being British?! More like being born with a silver spoon in your mouth and knowing nothing else but the wonders of bourgeois nepotism…
