    It royally fucks me off when info boards get used as full screen adverts. Costa and McDonalds are particularly bad - I don’t give a fuck about your 1998 Shockwave animated soft drink advert, show me the fucking menu!

    I’m not bothered about “idle” screens getting used for adverts such as airport departure gates with no plane berthed, but it’s incredibly frustrating when a screen has one job, that gets hijacked by adverts.

      not an advert but the departure boards on the platform at my local stations:

      • Departures page 1 - 10 train departures to go through, up for like 5 seconds
      • Departures page 2 - 10 train departures to go through, up for like 5 seconds
      • Enginerring works - 5 words, shown for like a minute.

      The idle screens at London City always make me laugh.

      Why yes, I have been thinking of moving to Luxembourg for the healthy tax benefits with my multi-million pound income.
