    Dont have my sound on but can see it popping up.

    But well pleased it is.

    Just wish there were more free range chickens to buy ,local supermarket does not have if any a lot of free range chickens when I have been in.

    I'm afraid I've removed flash player. whilst I am against battery farming I find this racket taking over my computer not very nice. They shouldn't use this sort of advertising with invasive noise. Especially when one of the symptoms of my own complaint is a perpetual headache.

    I'd rather give money than sanity.

    Grumpy old me(n).

    I just muted the sound while I'm on GC. I sympathise very much with the cause and have signed up, but the noise is very annoying!

    Its a stunt, if they ban battery chickens in the UK the supermarkets will just import more from other countries.
    The only way to stop the cruelty is to not buy them, and I cant see that happening.

    Still its giving a few TV personality chefs a bit of a push, so its not doing them any harm. :mad:

    I have to agree with pete,

    yes ok turn the sound down, but why should i have to?

    its a google ad, you can choose which ads can or can not be shown on your website. Hurry up and remove it, its very annoying
