    I don't know how to do that, and it sounds a bit of a rigmarole.
    I've tried clicking on 'allow youtube ads' but it doesn't seem to work. .

      If it Ublock, click on the jigsaw icon at the top of the page, then manage extensions, you then get a switch to turn it off or on.

        Thank you but it's such a fiddly thing to do.
        I've discovered I can see it if I use the InPrivate page . I get ads but they're only a few seconds and then you can skip them, so that's all right.

          Ads are how Youtube and many others make their money. They've recently started the blocking of those that use adblockers because they feel they are being 'short changed'. I've heard they have, or are going to, introduce a fee for those using adblockers so the videos can still be watched, but have got into a wrangle with the 'powers that be' over this.

              You can pay a subscription to Youtube and get it add free, I think its really just falling in line with all the other subscription channels around.
              Personally I can put up with the ads if its free.

                That's the same as watching them on the Inprivate page, you see about 5 seconds of an advert and then you can delete it. I don't mind that.

                    Acer Katsura always looks good. Green and gold leaves in Spring and red in Autumn. Not suitable for a small bed as it doesn't take too kindly to pruning and then has very vigorous random growth. In deeper shade it is slow growing.

                        No, sweet orange. I prefer them as don't like bitter marmalade :) I wonder if there's some way of regulating the colour on the phone camera, because that photo didn't do them justice at all :biggrin:
