Mumsnet ads

I just clicked on the flirtomatic one, hmm! I don't object, it's just, um, unusual I guess!

It's so Mumsnetters can have affairs. Maybe Justine is trying to sex things up a bit and make our lives more exciting.

I can hardly believe this one

"Flirtomatic!!! Where do foxes go when its their time to hunt. Now flirtier and free online....."

This is a mistake surely??

that fox is ODD man

what on earth is Flirtomatic??

Saw the Normandy one for the first time earlier today - it made me want to eat loads of cheese, which is not a good thing.

I started thread on the 4x4 ad but got blanked lol!

i say no credit cards maybe aswell?

Sod the 4x4 and srugery ones
That Normandy one with the blue cheese
I've got bloody morning sickness, that just made it worse!

Not bothered by any of them really. Don't really notice them, tbh most of them are out of my league financially (Boden, White Company etc)

I'd be very uncomfortable with loan ads (like the ones you're bombarded with on Nick Jr!) and with any Gambling/Poker/ Spearmint Rhino type things, but I would be very surprised to see them on here any way.

I still haven't seen the 4x4 or Ultralase ones, out of the two the plastic surgery one bothers me as being a little inappropriate, but then I just won't click on it.

They're all fine imo. 4X4's are a bit annoying, but then plenty of M-netters live where 4 X4's are sensible , so why on earth not? (Having bee living in a Somerset village myself until moving here, $ X $'s do ahve a plce, just not on the surburban school run).

Take what you can at this time, I say. And hey, if I could afford laser eye surgery my eyesight and hence myt yping might make sense for once LOL!

I suspect you're looking in from your holiday atm (Naughty!), makesure it's a good one

X

same as lio as above!

have a very happy holiday Justine and hope you get to relax a bit!

PS thanks for mumsnet!

Happy hols Justine and well done, I think you've been ace over this whole you-know-what thing.

Ads don't tend to offend as I mostly ignore them, only the cosmetic surgery one has given me the creeps. Don't even care about 4x4s or formula milk, both of which I have an opinion on.

on fios theme not keen on hoodia ..the spam is enough

Happy for pretty much anything, as long as it helps MN continue. Quite like having Robbie Williams pop up (so to speak) at the top of the page from time to time.

couldn't give a hoot

I noticed the 4X4 ad yesterday but didn't dare start a thread LOL.

Non of the ads bother me really tbh.

Justine, thank you for consulting us about this - it's very much appreciated.

Haven't seen any so far except for P&O, C&G and the 4x4 ad (which made me LOL) but I agree with those who would consider plastic surgery ads to be a no-no. I don't want to come on Mumsnet and be invited to mutilate myself!

(Incidentally, re. the argument that it doesn't matter what you have because if you don't want to see them you can block them, I see what you mean, but on the other hand, some people just don't have the technical ability to block stuff, or else they need to keep unblocking because otherwise the sites they need to use don't work. Also, would you use this argument to mean it's also ok to have formula ads? Just interested.)

Perhaps those could be restricted to the Men's Room, Fio.

I seem to have them blocked too, don't know how..I don't really think it's for me to say, but I will express an antipathy towards online gambling and celebrity endorsed loans, but wouldn't now go as far as to say don't have them because people can choose to a)see them and b)click thru.

Stop whinging and get an ad blocker if you don't like them. I don't see any ads at all.

Anything short of missiles and formula milk I guess.

I don't think I mind although I can see why people had a problem with formula ads. I wouldn't be thrilled to see McDonalds or Fruit Shoots advertising here but it's not my site and no ad on earth would persuade me to buy them so I guess I should shut up!

Have just clicked through and bought a load of Boden stuff btw.

Have a lovely holiday Justine!
