What Do You Do In The Advert Break?

[grasscarp]

If I have a tv channel on with advert breaks I use them to make a coffee, go to toilet, water the plants, stack the dishwasher, check ebay/emails.
I know that the national grid used to know when ads were on by the peaks of electricity due to kettles going on.
What do you use the breaks for?

[giveup]

Same as you.

[sherrardk]

I sky+ everything I watch so I just zap the adverts.

[tonyav]

I think that most people do the same has you, except for desktop maybe.

[murraymints]

Put kettle on....go for wee....check email....

[pusskin]

Exactly the same as you grasscarp. Never ever watch adverts x

[Cloverjo]

Go to the loo. Refill wine glass. Quick look at puzzle or crossword.

[lady-janine]

all the above plus flick through the other channels, pull the curtains together, sort out something else to watch or do.

[grasscarp]

So I am not the only one who is bouncing around all over the house during those few minutes! I know about Desktop and I started to wonder how she does the other things. Maybe during the programmes?

[factor-fiction]

I record the ads, play them back later with my shazam app ready to hand and keep a list of the item and music in case of future queries. You never know, it may come in useful one day

Make love to the Mrs & brew a cup of tea....all in the same advert break:-)

[EcclesCake]

I hardly ever watch scheduled TV, it is mostly on catch up and Mr Cake fast forwards the adverts and most of the programme we are trying to watch :-(

[BAKERS DOZEN]

I'm with Sherrardk as we SkyPlus everything and skip through the ads at 30 times speed.

[EcclesCake]

If Mrs Factor doesn't mind, I'd like to give you a chaste kiss on the cheek for that response Factor.

You can choose the cheek!

[grasscarp]

Factor I love your answer too. If there was a joint best you would be up there with carrust.

[lady-janine]

have a bonk, bungie jump from the landing, attend a flower arranging class, go train-spotting

[factor-fiction]

I don't know whether to take up Eccles Cake's offer of a kiss on the cheek or Lady Janine's offer of a bonk or bungee jump

[grasscarp]

Lady Janine I dont believe you would have time to attend a complete flower arranging class in that few minutes.

[carrust]

Yay...Gorra top answer:-)

[tonyav]

Of course she would grasscarp, sling them in a vase, job done !.
