    Almost too many to mention, but I’ll start with that daft eejit with the glut of turnips and his over 50s life Plan!
    I worked for an advertising agency once, twenty years ago. I still feel dirty 😆

    I only see adverts online, but Peleton can go and do one.

    We record everything so can wind the ads on.

    I try not to watch adverts as most of them annoy me.  I really dislike all gambling adverts for the reasons stated above and, despite being Fundraising Manager for two charities during my working life, I don't like the vast amount of charity advertising that is around at the moment.  They tend to go for channels that older people watch.  My Bestie's brother has mental issues and has been sending away all his income to charities as he feels guilty if he doesn't help.  
    Most general hated advert at the moment is the yodeling one for Dominoes it's driving me crazy.  Don't like the Daisy Daisy and Perfect Perfect ones either.

    Anyone else enjoying the advert for Amazon Prime, with the laughing hyena? I really love it!

    I often think that it would be nice if a poem were included in each ad break and repeated as much as the ads themselves, we would all be reciting poetry by heart rather than having ad jingles, catchphrases and logos in our heads.

    Any advert in rhyme,  because people respond better to rhyme.

    I thought the Nationwide poems were excellent.
