Despite even reading a genuine posting on the Net that Barry Scott appears in the Cillit Bang commercials".... because he owns the company that makes it", you will be unsurprised to hear that 'Barry' is really actor Neil Burgess. Who once played an axe-murderer on the Bill. Make your own jokes here...

If you have ever wandered (accidentally or not) into a "chav" housing estate you will notice that everyone SHOUTS however trivial the subject matter.

The marketing company behind Cillit Bang have been very clever in realising that this group of people is their ideal target market, and have devised a marketing campaign they will immediately take to.

Can you imagine a Chav sauntering up to the counter at Poundstretcher and asking for a "Cillit Bang" Bob??
... thought not - so that marketing theory is out the window ... unless they rename it something like "Buckie Cleaner"
