It seems to me, that adverts are taking over the programmes, it is quite funny, that I pick up my book and manage to read at least a chapter, and my husband reaches for his notebook, so what do you do?

You can read the whole chapter of a book in 3 minutes? Are you superwoman?
Personally I get on the computer, make a snack or smoke.

I read, or go out in the garden for a ciggie, I used to channel hop but adverts are on all channels at the same time and most of them really annoy me - or Mrs O's option if kids are out :-)

Tend to record anything on commercial channels to watch later and FF thru them.

McMouse, I do normally watch on catch up when I can, but recently virgin have been awful and I can't get the service which I pay an awful lot for, but that's by the way, I was watching America's got talent after I had recorded it, an hour long programme, and after taking the ads out, it was only 35 mins long.
