Car Adverts-Which ones stick?-in print and film
I hope it's pronounced santia as I've been saying it like that for 20 years!
I'm just a grumpy Northern git.

Does anyone recall the Lada advert with Cannon and Ball?

I think it is supposed to be pronounced Ksantia - emphasising the 'X' as it is presumably Greek derived.

Re: Car Adverts-Which ones stick?-in print and film
Yes I remember that one now! Linking in to car adverts made by comedians. There is no doubt that Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbert have produced some excellent comedy, but I am afraid that this effort for British Leyland must have been the low point of their careers. They surely couldn't have written the script....please..northern_mike wrote:Does anyone recall the Lada advert with Cannon and Ball?

I rather liked the spoof done by the "Not the Nine O'clock News" team. The new BL Ambassador, built by Roberts!

The spell checker corrects Z+antia as so many were misspelling the name.

Towards the end of my Xantia days, referred to them as "that (-expletive removed-) thing", removing the need to worry about pronunciation. .myglaren wrote:Out of habit I always say Z-antia.citronut wrote:northern_mike wrote:I hope it's pronounced santia as I've been saying it like that for 20 years!

Always worth an airing for me. Maybe he should have gone round the back and hit the petrol pump with a hammer this sometimes did the trick with my Mini.citronut wrote:does this count as a car add
