    How strange,  maybe it’s just Safari then.   Must be a browser thing.

    I'm on safari on ipad and have never had that message up on screen. I don't have adblock either and only ever see a few little ads floating in and out.

    I'm on chrome and I'm getting it.

    I wonder … is it different for folk who are or are not Subscribers? 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I'm not a subscriber and haven't got an ad blocker but I never get pop ups. 
    I just get a not particularly intrusive horizontal advert  between a certain number of threads on my tablet
    On the lap top, they're on the side. They don't bother me but pop ups would drive me nuts. Those scrolling adverts they have from time to time really annoy me. I still haven't forgiven B&Q. I also think one was trying to sell me dog food. I haven't got a dog.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I got the pesky message so for now ads are allowed. If they start being overly intrusive I'll decide then whether to stick around.

    Why is there all the fuss about use of these barges to accommodate asylum seekers.  My understanding is that they have been used for years to house workers in the oil and gas fields.
    I understand local concern about having several hundred unaccompanied men suddenly descending on them, irrespective of where they come from.
    The barges are being referred to by some as floating prisons but, from what I've read, there will be no controls in place to stop people entering and leaving whenever they want.  Presumably there will be some form of check on them when they return to confirm they are allowed on board.

    I'm getting really irritated by adverts such as the one on the radio this morning:  "At Nurofen, we understand your pain..."  

    Anyone been to Nurofen?  I'm imagining it as a little village near King's Lynn, peopled by boffins in white coats, working hard, treading on each others' toes and measuring pain levels.  Nice to know they care...   :|
