Finally something good has come of the Credit-Crunch.
The annoying, singing, grinning, bespectacled ‘Halifax guy‘ aka Howard Brown has been sacked!
Fired, sacked, let go, dropped, whatever you want to call it. But sacked is my personal favourite.
He was sacked from the adverts because:
“…his cheeky-chappy demeanor was deemed unsuitable for the current economic climate.“
Known to most simpy as ‘the Halifax guy’, Howard Brown shot to fame in 2000 when Halifax initiated a new marketing drive involving Halifax staff members singing pop tracks.
Since then ‘the Halifax guy’, Howard Brown has somehow become a star in his own right, reaching #13 in the UK pop charts in 2005 and appearing in The Office Christmas Special 2003.
I have long despised this infuriating and insufferable man. So, I rejoice at the departure of Howard ‘the Halifax guy’ Brown from our screens.
Your thoughts?

Thank god, my children are scared of Howard and those sinister glasses he wears.

They shoulda executed Howard and charged the cost of the bullet to Halifax.

It’s all his bruvva Gordon’s fault!

I can’t understand why he has become so popular in the first place and why he was picked to front the ads. He can’t sing or dance for toffees and I found him extremely irritating.

I can’t believe we’ve had to tolerate Howard’s pathetic efforts for so many years… good riddance!

I’m gutted you’ve all spoken about me this way.
All I wanted to do was to give you extra!

Leave him alone man, Howard was just doing his job, how would you like it if you got sacked for DOING YOUR JOB, it’s kind of pathetic no ?
To be honest i was actually entertained by his adverts it was quite funny maybe thats why he became so famous, since it stands out from all the other adverts.

Ye would all cheer if a load ‘o Traffic Wardens were sacked one day!

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NASTY? All I ever did was tell you about the halifax news!

Let’s face it, good riddance to the goggle eyed idiot.
Can’t stand the bloke, or the stupid fat tuneless bint who clearly can’t sing for toffee, or that annoying chinese looking bloke with the spiky hair.
They are all annoying as hell, thank god for the credit crunch. Sack the lot of them, tuneless, prats, they oughta have had actors rather than muppet company droids in the ads to start with.
