Help ! Have you seen the new Aldi advert featuring the older guy sat on a bench who says "think I'll go clubbing" whilst drinking an energy drink.Where is he from ? Definitely sounds like a Leeds accent...."south o'the river" ?What do you think or know.....How to find out ???Lots of friends asking !

Its a novel and very appealing advert in my view - I like it - and it doesn't half hit home with we old gimmers who are still dreaming.

As far as adverts go, I think all the Aldi ads so far have been "fun"... I like the woman with the booze. Made me howl first time I saw it. Their ads don't lie or make stupid remarks which as far as I'm concerned gives them cred.
