Monkey Lad tales

[Jim Haseltine]

"Monkey Lad" isn't a term that's used much here in the UK which might be why
the possible unintended irony in a current TV ad is missed by most people.

Halfords, a national chain of auto parts and accessory stores (who also sell
pedal cycles and have auto service bays at some of their bigger stores) are
running a tv ad featuring chimps - the punch line being that their prices
are so low that as they're asking us to pay peanuts they decided to use
monkeys in the ad.

Unfortunately they aren't running the same ad at their on-line store.
