Anyone else getting hacked of with Carolyn Quentin and her sickningly smarmy Marks & Spencer Adverts - she comes across as a right little smarty pants.

If she was chocolate she would eat herself!

Any other adverts get up yer nose?

I agree, we record programmes which have adverts in them and then skip the adverts when we play back, I can't believe how many adverts they put in during programmes, it spoils the thread of the programme. In some countries the adverts are only allowed between different programmes but of course we would all go and make a cup of tea at that time.
Someone told me they are working on a system whereby you can't skip the adverts when you've recorded the programme and play it back.

I agree, there are far too many adverts. But having said that, there's one I need to see! I was a winner in a Famous Grouse competition to have a custom label on a bottle in their Christmas ad. It was to be shown on STV between 6pm and midnight, but don't know what day. Anyone see it? My bottle was to have The Famous Brock from Caithness on it.

We record and skip the ads...unless you need a pee or a cup of tea then we leave the ad break on.
I love cbeebies on telly for the kids as there is no ads..so no brainwashing them into having to have something!

Go Compare gets on my nerves, trying to get a gimmick like comparethemarket.com but it doesn't work for me, I avoid what I don't like.

The best set of advets, in my opinion, on TV are the BirdsEye Adverts with the Bear in the Freezer. They are Grrrreat!!! :-

I don't watch much TV, but agree with Jox that the Go Compare ads are awful. Drive me up the wall. These are supposed to be to promote a product, not alienate it!

It looks to me like she HAS eaten herself, along with a couple of other people as well!! Jonathan Creak was so-called because of the noise she made coming across the stage. ;)
