P.S Financial advertising is often bizarre. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at the offices of 'Compare the Market' when the ad execs pitched their idea... "Well we've got this plan to use a meerkat...." Who knew that would be so amazingly successful? The last laugh is on us though - furry ?20 replicas of Aleksandr the meerkat were the 'must-have' Christmas gift last month and ended up changing hands for nearly ?1,000 each on eBay. I guess hooking the children of your customers is a clever move.?1000 for a meerkat
