    Adverts...

    Ads that slowly tell a story about a couple, sometimes over the course of several years, are very annoying. The BT ones on at the moment, with that nob from My Family in them, are even more annoying.

    On the whole i hate all adverts. they are annoying and rubbish. there are a few that are very good, but only a very small amount.

    As has been said before on here, adverts with children are just as bad as the "family story" adverts.

    On the plus side, there are Honda adverts.

    I have noticed a very sharp decline in the quality of car adverts. with a daewoo 4x4 being by far the worst - it looks like it was unknowingly made in paint by a 3 year old trying to eat the mouse.
