This is the silliest I’ve seen for a while.

I cannot copy as just keeps opening website but an ad has appeared for retirement apartments in Dover, I have just mentioned in a post that I have relatives in Dover.

Fall Winter is correct, I’d definitely fall in those, though as my feet are very small I doubt they could make heels that high in my size.

Blimey, I would do a Dick Emery in those.

Cornishpatsy I know the ads are targeted like that & although I do still occasionally venture out in heels, I can’t imagine what I’ve written that could trigger that one!

I honestly hardly ever notice the adverts!

Well at least they have anti slip soles, Jane. ?

I do know someone who is nearly 80, who wore heels like those till she fell and broke both arms.

I wonder what all those people seeing the ‘cat flap pyjamas’ advert had done?

My sidebar ads are nearly all STEM based.

We have to appreciate getting GN for free. Just ignore the ads.

With all the empty advertising slots on the forum, it is obvious that GN needs all the advertisers it can get, whatever they are proclaiming.

Blossoming Wed 23-Dec-20 20:05:28

I don’t think anybody was complaining Varian, just chatting ?

crazyH Wed 23-Dec-20 20:16:02

I can only see the ads for the Cotswold Company - I hope other companies will take note. GN does a wonderful job for us, of a certain age. They could do with a boost !!

I’m seeing ads for NHS talking therapies right now.

No annoying ads here. Just get Adblock Plus, it's free.

This has just 'helpfully'? popped up on the pleural effusion thread?‍♀️.

Must try harder on anatomy, Dear Adveriser

I haven't worn shoes like that since I was in my 30s and early 40s......I used to have lots of very high heels, then suffered from Plantar Faciitis, which the GP said was caused by wearing them

Callistemon Tue 08-Jun-21 23:03:18

Do you think they do them in other shades?
Lilac is not really an autumn fall color

I have an advert for a Braun IPL - do you think my device can see my hairy legs?

Kamiso Tue 08-Jun-21 23:16:04

More likely they can see my chin! Unless you have your screen angled towards your hairy legs?

Blossoming Tue 08-Jun-21 23:17:00

Ooh Callistemon can your device defuzz as well? Now that would be useful ?

Kamiso Tue 08-Jun-21 23:18:39

I’ve got bed settees probably after my recent enquiry!
