FACT: The words "dot com" on the We Buy Any Car adverts are voiced by none other than Prof Stephen Hawking, who returned a favour after they took an old Mini Metro off his hands.
Noted for his versatility in the advertising world, Hawking's is the voice you hear screaming "HI! I'M BARRY SCOTT!" on the Cillit Bang commercials.
And by running himself through Google Translate, he also does the German version: "BANG! UND DAS SCHMUCK IST WEG!"
Readers will be intrigued to hear that the concept for the We Buy Any Car is nothing new – this business model was first noted around the time of the Norman invasion as this never-before-seen panel from the Bayeux Tapestry proves, and is still going strong.

That's Norman wisdom for you.
second.
I'll bet they won't buy my car:
12 year old Mondeo with over 290K miles on the clock, welding needed as well as work on the suspension & brakes. One week's MOT left...
Who is Norman? And what makes him so wise?
So happy I no longer have to put up with British car insurance etc commercials
Maybe Stu could write a comparison of car insurance commercials from around the world?
And where is the good Professor these days? Lost his intermanet connection?
In fact, for your further delectation

I am supposedly decended from Normans.
Not to be mistaken for Normals.

Hi guys! Very funny blog - love the webuyanycart.com idea! I can't speak for the guys at Cillit Bang, but unfortunately Stephen Hawking didn't star in our ad! If he did, I'm sure he'd have suggested something far more intelligent than break dancing and singing webuyanycar.com over and over and over...! Maybe next time hey! And for the guy with the Mondeo, we will buy your car because surprise surprise we buy ANY car!
I don't often give stock market tips, but here's a sure fire recommendation. Do not bother with shares in Poundland. They can only depreciate in line with inflation.
Especially now there are 99p and 98p shops.
Oh Lordy - 'we buy any car' are here!
Plz to buy my car.
I would like to inform to all people of UK...that you can sell your car's online with just few simple steps...
