• Was just wondering if you guys stateside have the pleasure of meeting Aleksandr Orlov. He is the star of one of our TV commercials for a car insurance comparison website. It has been a total success here with t-shirts etc being sold with Aleksandr on them. Have attached a link for you to see his 2 latest adventures. I think he is great which really shows that the Scottish Ambassador is still a big kid inside. Let me know if you think he is as cool as i do.

• I am a big Alexandr fan also, or more the genius behind the advertising, very memorable!  I bet they have a lot of fun dreaming up the ideas for the next ad.  As for their main competitor, I hate that 'Go Compare' one.  My two year old started singing it the other day.  Thankfully she has no need for a comparison website!

• I am a little late if posting on this, but that was pretty funny. I'll have to show it to my kids. I'm sure they'll get a laugh out of it.
