Most annoying ads?

For me it has to be the oh so pretentious prefume/aftershave ads that are all over the place in the run up to Christmas...  >:(

Never see adverts - everything on commercial TV is recorded - gives you more viewing time for free.

However my latest freebee PVR from BT (yes free but need BT Broadband) doesn't record ITV1 sound, and the older one sometimes locks up if left with tuner one on MUX 2

Pace Twin 100GB
& BT Vision

Coca Cola may not have invented the Red Santa but they certainly popularised it. Thanks to their 1930's advertising the Red Santa took over (just like the Grey Squirrel taking over from the Red one) and never looked back.
