I know, let's have a competition to see how many viewers on here have spotted?
Not me gov, but generally adverts seem to be going through a phase where the brand is never mentioned on the sound, thus dpriving all blind viewers any knowledge of what the companies are attempting to sell. Considering the
aging demographic and increase in blindness, this would seem to be rather silly while people like Virgin, Proctor and Gamble and Waitrose etc have an AD track, this is only any good if its switched on!

I don't know if the ads are regionalised, but if so it's a bit
approximate because the adverts we get in Emley Moor Land are mostly
Welsh. Various weird little Welsh businesses. There's one for a firm
that buys old jewellery and the guy has a ridiculous sing-song
accent.Does anyone know why?

Well, for a start Bill, is it a man or a woman both in sound and in
picture? Have you noticed how the bag carried by the 'customer' keeps changing arms, and the clearly mouthed "Wow!" and "Oh my god"?
Then:
The gin company advert starts with the lower half of a couple walking on Tenby beach carrying a lantern (why?) and a hamper; next shot closer in
- no lantern or hamper. Why would anyone drinking socially/domestically
carry and use a spirit measure? First shot of gin going into beaker -
sprig of Rosemary already in it, then fruit put into beakers and no
Rosemary, then next shot both beakers have Rosemary. Eh?
And last but not least the couple walking up to Old John (a folly in
Bradgate Park, Leicestershire - went there often as a child) where both
are carrying bags over their 'outer' shoulders so they can hold hands. Several shots of this format then suddenly both have got their bags over
both shoulders but still holding hands.
And so it goes on.......
I wonder when GBNews will get some new adverts? I'm not only getting fed
up with the limited selection, but I can't find any more continuity
errors in them!

They are trying to bring some balance in to the news to counter the

The BBC doesn't have a left-wing bias to need countering. What you're

Ah the left, go straight to insults as always. Anyone who doesn't
hold their POV has to be abused with name calling.

Lol.
The BBC hasn't done news as such for at least a decade, many say much
longer.

I note your opinion and, while you are entitled to hold it of course, I disagree with it entirely.

I note that you appear to have missed the point of my link completely,
quite possibly not even bothering to read it, so, perhaps unsurprisingly, >I'll have to spell it out to you ...

The quote comes from Scott’s "Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field" (1808).
Nothing to do with "cautionary tales", whether by Belloc or anyone else.
You are really funny. I know you don't mean to be, but you are.
"Oh what a dreadful web we weave

Oh... and it's "tangled", not "dreadful".
And "practice", "not "practise".
