The LIV advert taking up the bottom 1/4 of my phone screen.
It's taking up a good chunk of my desktop screen as well. They did say the were going to be louder :oops:
And causing some of the text to disappear off the side of the screen gtf and take your golfers with you ?
Sweet god Ave just seen. What the hell. ??
LIV contriving to make my experience of browsing this forum worse as well as for exposing naked greed in some players.
I have just installed the Adblock Pro App (free) onto my iPad and it has done its job…..no more LIV Ads and a clean, clear screen.

Thanks for that, just done it and it also blocks the ones at the top too. Seems as if putting one overly irritating ad on your site results in all your advertising now not being seen. Not the best business practice.

The A1 in Northumberland, linking Newcastle to Edinburgh, is largely single carriageway. An 11 mile section from the north end of the town where I live going north was earmarked for duelling some years ago. All designs in, plans approved.

The upgrade was due to begin in January but for reasons unknown the Dept of transport stopped it and decided to have 'another look'. It's just been announced that this 'look' is going to take a further 6 months.

Northumberland has been wanting duelling for decades, we finally thought this might be the moment but no. :mad::mad::mad: x 100 (and add a few more)

We have a shiny new bypass round Lincoln. It only took 8 years and was 7.5km

I am so glad I don’t have to make that journey anymore, horrible drive and a complete joke that a single carriageway is linking two “major” cities.

Crazy isn't it? I know there are parts of Lincolnshire, Norfolk and elsewhere who have similar road horrors, we are not unique. It's dangerous, it's an embarrassment and it is holding back investment in the area, as well as painful to drive on.

Over the last 25 years I have noticed a massive improvement on the A1 from the A14 to Scotch corner. All the roundabouts are gone and it’s all either two or three lanes, and apart from that silly bit at Elkesley it’s all 70mph. I sort of assumed it went all the way to Edinburgh! Disgraceful really we do not have a motorway from London to Edinburgh.

I have only driven to Northumberland a couple of times. That part of the A1 is a national disgrace where it is a single lane.

You get 20 miles north of Newcastle and it’s mainly single carriageway all the way to the border barring a few odd miles of dual carriageway. Shocking.

I’ve just installed the Adblock Pro on my iPhone but it keeps saying it’s not enabled yet, any idea why?
