Funny that Brits actually watch the ads. After years of this in US and Canada you get used to ignoring them and time your ad breaks. Put the kids down, make a cuppa, check your email. Or putting in another load of laundry or running to the kitchen. Who's paying 100% attention to ads? Everyone I know simply ignores them. So there's that. Thats why remote controls have mute buttons and mobile phone are on the net that allow surfing to fill the ad break time. LOL. Such a old discussion that always surfaces.

With one exception - I was in the US for a Superbowl a few years ago and it's the only time I've ever been in a bar with sport on the TV and people waited for the ad breaks to be over then went to the loo!

Its times like this you realise many young people don’t know how to watch actual live TV

Reminds me of those ads you see for devices that you plug into the back of your TV and allows you to get lots and lots of TV channels for free.

It's an aerial

We’ve gone full circle, from small TVs, to bigger widescreens, to massive TVs hung on walls, to watching everything on your laptop or phone!

Why are they using the previous style break bumpers during this? (Watching in the UTV Region).

I have a feeling it's to do with the Britain Get Talking campaign.

Mind was having a chat with them this evening.

Maybe they've decided to leave the bumpers out until a decision has been reached. Or maybe Mind has pulled out.


Alternatively someone has pressed the wrong button.
