I get the 1066 reference, I guess to the Battle of Hastings but I don't get the joke.

Same here 🤷‍♂️???

The company is called Hastings Direct and they do vehicle insurance. 1066 was indeed the Battle of Hastings. 0800 is a freephone (toll free) number so

0800 00 1066 is then the full number for Hastings Direct.

 

The joke is, if you walk down the street and shout "0800 00", that someone (or multiple people) will (likely won't as we're all too introvert) shout back "ten sixty six!"

Thank you @spikey_richie for this explanation 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!!

So, in the end, it's a joke that's mostly aimed at people with a good knowledge of the British way of life and culture.

In all honesty, I was completely in the fog about this joke.

I thank you very much for this explanation. @foolsfolly and I will have a better understanding of this joke 🙂!

Have a nice day

Sincerely

A poor analogy for the USA would be someone starting to quote a catchphrase from the Geico gecko, and expecting random people to finish the catchphrase.

Or saying "Nike", and expecting people to reply "Just do it".

I love nostalgic adverts. When I find an old VHS of a film I recorded from 80s TV, I prefer watching the adverts!

Often a better insight into the era, than the program itself.

Not sure if you're on Twitter but if you are check out an account called Historic Vids. It's not just old ads and I think you'll like it.
