Anne in Kent, agree with you there. What are they like? Any compensation claim adverts get my goat, that old geezer gets me the most. Have you had an accident NO BUT YOU ARE ABOUT TO.. GRRRRRRRRR.

I hate the pot noodle one, I hate the feeling bloated one, I hate the Halifax one, but at the end of the day it works because you can't forget them, they drive you mad, and in some ways you have to see them to vent your frustrations. Clever or what? Calm down it's only an advert.

Carol Vorderman, who's got loads of money herself, encouraging people to take out loans, probably at massive interest rates, it's obscene.

I HATE all the loan company adverts!!!! What they don`t tell us is that they probably have very high interest and use people like Carol Voderman and Phil Tufnell(who aren`t short of money) to try and sell their product!

Any ad that uses sexual connotations/nudity, before the watershed of 9.0 pm (when young kids should be in bed). I'm not a prude, either.......but how can parents preserve their kids' innocence with everything out in the open, on TV? I suppose all we can do is keep the TV switched to BBC, when young children around.........yes, I know that they wouldn't necessarily understand the innuendos, but are they REALLY relevant to some of the products the 'saucy' ads relate to?
