Drill a one inch diameter hole in your refrigerator door. This will allow you to check that the light goes off when the door is closed

Re: What adverts are particularly annoying you?

If you are on speaking terms with the little man who turns the light off there is no need to drill a hole in the door sometimes elephants in the custard give the impression that the lights have gone out no it is better to rely on the little man.

Re: What adverts are particularly annoying you?

Anything related to laundry products. Why do they have to depict only (well dressed) women doing it, as though it is the most important thing they have to do that day and if it doesn't come out perfect they will be punished for being a failure as a wife and mother!!!! Who, in the real world, goes into tears of anguish that a stain hasn't come out?????
Strangely, it's always been the case... what those in the trade call a "trope"

Of course there is the relatively new alternative of the smug only-we-under-tens-can-save-the-planet brat which is even worse IMO.

Re: What adverts are particularly annoying you?

The one for vanish really annoys me. This dopey mother when confronted by a stain in her child's dress tells the kid that the stain won't come out and the world is ending. Then another dopey woman shows the first dopey woman how to get rid of the stain by washing the dress again only this time in Vanish. When the stain has magically disappeared the mother tells the now mentally traumatised child that she can go to the party after all. Hurrah.

They all annoy me, . . I pay £20 plus my licence fee of over £100 to get 90 channels on TV but I'd gladly pay twice the price just to be able to watch a program that doesn't have commercials on it every ten minutes.

Re: What adverts are particularly annoying you?

I hate the fact that they seem to think we have suddenly all gone hard of hearing and need to hear the adds at full volume, I get fed up with having to turn the volume down. I am sure it didn't used to be like that.
