I don't really mind TV adverts. In fact I quite like bad TV adverts, like Cillit Bang, (The bloke comes on and in a really loud voice says "I'm Barry Bloggs (who?) and Cillit Bang is really good, Buy Cillit Bang, Buy it." Well, that's the idea anyway.) Also that one where the woman in the pink jumpsuit grabs a white top off a passer by and smears enigne oil on it (watchers gasp in horror) and then puts her cleany stuff on (watchers gasp in amazement.)

What I hate is adverts appearing where they shouldn't, like those signs in tube stations saying "McDonalds only 50m this way". A while ago someone was trying to set up a business selling advertising space on the sides of private cars, which would have been the absolute limit.

I also hate sponsorship of sports events. OK so natwest sponsors the cricket and puts their logos on everything. So what? Are we all going to think they are a good bank because they paid the EWCB some money? What's cricket got to do with banking anyway?

And I ESPECIALLY hate the fact that Carling sponsors the Reading festival because it means all there is to drink there is their revolting gnat's piss so-called beer.

So I'd say there's a lot worse things than TV adverts.
