Re: The most irritating tv ad you just have to mute

Thankfully John, No....he is so technophobic it is untrue........anything that connects to the electricity supply, other than a halogen heater,a fridge(or stuff of that ilk) has to be dealt with by yours truly.
He has a dislike of instructions...never ever follows them(and wonders why things don't work for him).
If I hear the loud impassioned call.....Maaaaargaret, I know he has loused up the TV settings.........and he is sat there muttering under his breath 'it shouldn't happen'....to which I am inclined to reply 'what do you mean, mental inadequates being given the full charge of a remote control?'
He thinks the TV should just have on/off buttons and something to change channel........I have suggested that he returns to the seventies where there were only a few TV channels.......that he gets rid of Sky TV and this will save us a wad of money each month....and that if he can't stomach any of these things then he should either learn to operate the technology, or shut up.
God help him if I pop my clogs first.
