Is Anyone Else Annoyed.....

With the ‘adverts for the elderly’. On TV in the afternoons and later? It has not stopped raining here for over a week! I normally avoid afternoon TV, but in desperation, after reading 5 novels a week during the last three weeks of lockdown, (no charity shops open to get more, and can’t afford to buy 5 more from Amazon) I have started to watch Morse, Midsomer Murders, Poirot et al on ITV 4. Every advert is for funeral costs, mobility scooters, equity release and over 60’s residential homes! Surely there are other age groups who have had to resort to daytime TV?

I seem to have the ability to be completely oblivious to adverts usually. I can just shut my mind to them.

It's because of the 'no standpipe in the village square swarming with flies' charge, unsureme.

God yes! What the actual £*%& .... I'm 43, working from home, no plans on even thinking about retiring, mobility, funeral costs etc for another 30yrs minimum - longer if I can help it - but for my sins I actually quite like Poirot and Midsomer etc The adverts, holly hell, they would have you dead and buried (and paying for it) in an instant!! TBH i'd be happy with YouTube, Prime, Netflix etc but my wife is "old school" and likes the have the telly on in the day.... the ads make me feel suicidal !!
