All I'm seeing at the moment, despite giving 'feedback' every time is ad for Father's Days t-shirts.

I'm not generally sensitive about this kind of thing, but it's coming up to the first anniversary of my dad's death and his funeral was Father's Day weekend last year so as much as I hate the word it's a bit triggering.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was generic but all of them feature the specific name we called him by, which is a bit more unusual than 'Dad' so it really hits a nerve.

I'm sure there must be other posters who feel a similar way...

Hi OP

We're so sorry about any upset this has been causing.

These sound like google ads - were you clicking the blue triangle to get rid of them?

Would you mind sending over some screenshots when you see them, so that we can look at what you're seeing? If it's easier to email them, it's [email protected]. Flowers

Thanks...I've clicked the blue triangle a couple of times and actually since I did it this morning it's not come back as yet.

If they pop up again I'll screenshot and let you know.

I'm normally quite stoic but they all refer to someone being 'Papa' which was mine and DDs name for dad (she couldn't pronounce grandpa and it ended up sticking for both of us).

It's not something I've ever seen much of previously but sod's law it's all over the place this year.
