	The decision was made on Friday afternoon so I suppose we do have to allow some time before we can expect it to take effect. Dea x

	Depending when Dea received her reply, it might take a while for GR to contact the agency and for them to remove the Ad. Don't forget that many offices aren't staffed at the weekend!

	Dea, glad you had a positive outcome in you quest to have the advertising removed. GR must of had words with the advert provider as the Ancestry ads starting appearing on the 19th May and where there every day until last Tuesday 11th June and they haven't been on the boards again. Though they will be back as they always are. Gai

	I now have a positive response from GR which I will post below: Hi Dea, Genes management have let me know that we have now asked our advert provider to remove this advert from circulation on the site. Best Wishes Rachel I thank Rachel for that and look forward not to seeing the ad again - I did not enjoy having to try to answer my 8 year old grand-daughter's question as to what 'friggin' meant ! Many thanks Rachel, Dea x

	I have had the "2 people are spying on you" but not on GR, but on other websites I have used. Currently, on this page now, I have an advert for holidays - now guess what I was doing yesterday evening.
