How did this thread topic turn into something so surprising and funny, and very misleading ?
(no, I am not famous or talented, but yes, you can have my autograph )
People don't generally mind or follow, many of those old sayings, do they? Such as, how many people grab one bird in the hand, preferring it to 2 birds in the bush?
Talking about tv campaigns, do you think some of the medical ones might be mis-leading? (I'm thinking here about the ones for stomach problems, which trivialise conditions which just might be a sign of cancer.)
I don't watch TV adverts... but I suspect like most commercials they are definitely misleading in many ways , would you ban adverts if you could from TV and radio ?
No, they do fund the programmes, but I would certainly restrict them. Very often, there is more ads than programme! Do you think the ads are chosen to suit a certain audience?
Absolutely, of course the ads are chosen to suit a specific audience..no use putting an advert for a stannah chairlift thing on MTV for example... . fortunately I don't watch them, . just catch the odd one if I've come into the room when it's on,.. .. is there any TV show you watched regularly when younger you would like to see again?
Would they put them on for me, if I select some?
Such as perhaps Flintstones or the Jetsons, would be funny, perhaps even funnier than they were then , do you think?
I don't have freeview I have Sky... must be in there somewhere I have 999 channels.. although tbf as the 70's was my era I probably know every song they're very likely to play off by heart ...what was your musical era?
Yes, I preferred the 60s. Going to the youth club, playing music on the juke box and dancing....net petticoats, flared skirts...am I stirring memories?
