Which tv advert annoys you the most? I absolutely detest the Cuprinol crying shed one. The advert is so stupid and the crying noise irritating.

Yes I agree, that one is awful. Also hate the furniture one (is it SFS?) where that young lady is shrieking at us all through the advert, her voice gets on my nerves.

Hello Viv how are you?

Virgin catch up TV strips out all the ads so nothing to get annoyed about :-)

I am not aware of anything on ITV etc so compelling as to make enduring 5 minutes of annoyances every 15 minutes bearable.

Take this evening for instance Emmerdale v yet another Frost repeat is hardly going to have people bouncing up and down on the sofa with excitement. I suppose watching Ms May's US counterparts at work throwing out wetbacks might be entertaining for some ( Ms May for instance ).

Earlier on we can find out how broke we are in "Breadline Britain" ( an expose of food stamps ? ) though breadline Cyprus or Greece where they have the real deal might be more challenging.

If you will want to watch ads and have a larf go here:

But Errol it won't nevessarily make me buy the product. If everyone in SFS is like that female nothing will make me buy from them. Cuprinol, well we buy that anyway so can't say but it might put people off. :-(

I get really annoyed with the number of adverts for these quick loans and pay day loans, every other advert I see on television these days is for one of these companies, even when you go out you cannot get away from them as many of our high streets are being taken over by loan shops :-|

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I think it's the Wonga one that Nicholas Parsons is in. He should be ashamed of himself associating with a company that exploits people who can't get loans any other way.
