I can honestly say I do not welcome any TV adverts spoiling my TV watching. Over here you get it so so so spoon fed (they think we are dumb) is it that subtle doesn't exist anymore.

It gave me a headache and I wasn't even in the same room!!

Don't really care if I am, as long they come with us; once there they can see why we have made the move. Even managed at last to get through to my 20yr old who tried to be independent, wanting to stay in the UK; back home now; thank goodness! Not sure is girl-friends family agree though.

I only watched BBC in the old country(only joking)
I know that without the tedious ads we would have to pay a fee for the pleasure of watching TV, but sometimes just sometimes doesn't it just drive you nuts when you see the same ad every 15 minutes. Do we really need that tooth whitener for that beautiful artificial white smile? that said I really must quit that chewing tobacco, its making such a mess of the carpet.
