    Haha 😆 very true Burtsnest. I imagine most of us would let out least a little expletive after falling "@r$€ over t*£" like she does 😉.

    My most hated tv ad of the moment is "It's June dad".
    Flogging life insurance or summat 😠.

    Ads are what the FF button is for.  The only thing I watch live on ITV is the Channel 4 news and that's just this last week or so because it's on late enough for me to see after a day in the garden while the Beeb has wall to wall tennis and football.

    While the standard modern English spelling of the word is barbecue, variations including barbeque and truncations such as bar-b-q or BBQ are also  found. The spelling barbeque is given in  the Oxford and Merriam Webster dictionaries as a variant.
