5-element Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thank you so much for the link. I'd planned to watch it yesterday and then forgot all about it, now I can see it, great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sorry Norman, I would have loved to watch it but I am not going to listen to 60 seconds of French advert which always makes my blood boil on the TV, 5 seconds is my limit even with the sound muted, shame [:(]Why do so many web links do this?

5-element Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I agree Chancer, this 60-second advert nearly lost me.Still watched it. It started very well, then focussed on 2 areas of particular interest for Beziers: first, bullfighting, and then wine growing and vineyards - both topics I don't really relate to - I would have liked much, much more on Beziers-town.

NormanH Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 You are so right 5e...I was mildly outraged that the bullfighting school got so much attention when it represents a very tiny minority interest.What was amusing though was the number of people from the Mairie who got in on the act: all the customers at the bar in les Halles where you can have the meat you have bought cooked for you were people who have never been seen there before, but are either councillors or employees[:)]In fact it showed in one way why the town doesn't thrive. All the attention on the things of the past still controlled by the same families (the wine maker and the director of les Arènes are good examples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Tried it or maybe something very similar, didnt change anything, like everything I try to do with computers it just left me with loads of problems I didnt have before without any benefit that i could see.

NormanH Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think you use IE so perhaps it doesn't work so well.I have Firefox and it really does the trick.I can even watch ITV with all the ad breaks cut out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the ads are so original and clever?Actually, though, that's why we stopped watching french TV years ago. Even before there were other options.

Although it's not far, we tend to avoid it.They must have taken many of the shots showing roads in the early morning in the middle of winter[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
