That’s daft , you don’t screw the cutter into scone dough ! You need to push it straight into the dough or they won’t rise properly
So they are disinformation!!!

I remember that from school aggie, giggling with the class when the unmarried Domestic Science teacher lectured us on scones and always think when making them myself. "Girls straight in straight out no moving it about". Our mucky little minds had us gagging with laughter.

they've gone ?

ohn no they're back again

I've just got the scone recipe again full screen, and as Aggie says it's wrong anyway your scones topple over. Now it's the makeup muppets.
'I think it is just going to be a case of we have to put up and shut up, though I do wish they would move with the times and show some different faces.

All the ads are for mumsnetters not gransnet, why are they bothering to put ads on that have no interest or use to us here, It's ridiculous!

I think GNHQ must have read my posts as the ads have changed to older women's make up, [which I may listen to later], excises and cake making, so at least they are ads of interest to us on here now.

I’m now haunted by the pop up makeup women too! I really find it annoying!

There is an eerie silence from HQ. I suspect they are hoping in time we will get used to them.

To my knowledge HQ hasn’t denied that this is a new money making venture for them.

I can cope with ads down the side but not in the middle. The next step will be to have more than one advert per thread.

HQ please don’t ignore us, we want to know if these adverts will continue.

I think GN has blocked the pop-ups. I don’t get get them anymore. Thanks GN

They are certainly not blocked I have just reported Anne Summers's best ten sex toys. It has cropped up all day. I worry that my GD will see it as she often sits beside me and reads what I am reading or clicks something before I can stop her.
Her 9-year-old sibling was caught watching porn in the middle of the night. They are a techno whizz and luckily were caught we hope before they saw much.

If you want the site to carry on being free, you’re going to have to accept that there’ll be advertising. They use videos because they work, unfortunately. Personally I can’t stand them, but I appreciate that Mumsnet and Gransnet are fundamentally businesses. Remember the saying - if you’ve signed up to something for free, it’s because you’re the product they’re selling.

CrazyH they haven’t stopped I m still getting them spring up in the middle of a persons post

They really sap your battery too, mine is about to go off!!

No definitely still there, big one in the middle, one on the side!
Really annoying!

They are not blocked. We are now treated to a constant repetition of unflattering pictures of women experimenting with a makeover; (I actually knew that makeup improves the appearance of most women, thank you), and a woman wearing some unfortunate maroon leggings and possibly doing some exercises.
IDO NOT WANT MY READING OF POSTS INTERRUPTED BY THIS TRASH.
