A very very nice man

created by FryingLizard

Truly awful catch-phrase from an appallingly annoying British TV commercial for the Automobile Association (known here as the AA). The line is delivered at the end of the commercial by two elderly ladies sitting in the back seat of a clapped out car, that's being repaired by the AA Man, who, we are repeatedly informed, is a very very nice man.

Not of tremendous relevence to those outside the British Isles, but certain to sent a shiver down the spine of anyone who was a victim of the relentless saturation bombing of this advert on TV during the early ninties.
