    You CAN compare the meerkat... dot com!

    After the recent adverts, for some reason, I thought I'd give it a go and typed Compare the Meerkat into my browser and, lo and behold, I've been comparing meerkats all afternoon!

    I checked that at home the other day, it's actually quite excellent.

    Where on earth did they find all those pictures of Meerkats?

    At least the advert work well, it reinforces what they want to sell. now as for the advert with Iggy Pop on it, I cannot remember what it is selling even though I have seen it loads of times I know it is something to do with insurance but what exactly, I 'm not sure at all.

    That is genius! I assumed there'd be a page there, but not a whole spoof site. Brilliant!

    It's for Swift Insurance cover and the fact they keep copies of everything on-line so you never loose things like your Birth Certificate apparently.
