With the automatic consent for them to contact you to try to bleed more money from you ( which is exactly what they do) so they get **** all from me.
Over 50...
Quickly, join a dating site, book a cruise & have some fun while you still can, & there are all these mobility aids if you need them.
Oh! ...” And before you die, don’t forget to change your will so that we can screw you over forever & a day...we will even help you”.
Have a nice day. vomit

NB: Once you have fed all these ‘Charities, there’s no money left for betting, bingo & lotteries... or coins.

Yep - My partner gives a few £ a month to Save The Children. Everyone other month she gets a letter to the effect of “thank you so much for your kind donations………………..for just a few more £ per month (or whatever you can give) you could do x, y and z for children etc etc”

It must be really depressing watching ITV3/ITV4 during the day, you turn on to watch something like Minder/The Professionals etc, maybe reliving some favourites from younger days only for the adverts to come on and say one of the following:

You’re dying soon, leave some money to your loved ones so they can pay your funeral.
Don’t’ forget you’re definitely gonna die soon, so before you croak please take out an equity release plan and invite a stranger to your home so they can convince you they are doing you a favour.
Seriously! You are going to die soon, get a cremation plan and we’ll send you a free body bag
Look, come on, we’ve told you, you’re going to die you MUST listen now, not listening? Here is a celebrity you may remember from Countdown to tell you how important it is, surely you’re going to listen now, don’t make us wheel out Michael Parkinson!
Ok, our figures show you’ve done none of the above (we can tell!) so here are some adverts about people and animals who are dying, lets see if you’ll help them if not yourself.
It’s infuriating isn’t it? After about the third similar advert into each break you just wish they’d cut to the chase…. “Old people! Send us your money, now!

Smart Life insurance. The thirty two year old non-smoker (aren't they all?) has taken out a second policy. Same script but his wife is doing the washing in the background. Same check shirt and even more amazingly, the same telesales girl.

He was probably only 31 when he rang up, but at least they’ll have told him his call is important to them while waiting for their only operator to pick up the phone.

Good that they’ve gone old school with the bird doing the washing in the background though. That’s how I like to see a household being run hehe

It’s only £6.89 a month as as an added bonus we’ll give you 10% of your first year’s premium back! So that’s £8.27 cash back! That’s probably enough to buy a shirt sleeve.

I had this with Barnardos, they asked for £1 so I signed up for £5. Few months later they got in touch asking for more, I replied saying is 5x the original amount not good enough.
Direct debit stopped.

OrCam, good idea... but;
It’s £1800 & sounds like that Robotic & automated caption generator on those annoying FB sites, it doesn’t pronounce words properly either.
I would switch off after a few minutes. irked

Birds Eye Green Cuisine ad for fake chicken - everyone involved in this one should be rendered down and fed to actual chickens.

Either that or just made to eat that horrible unhealthy faux meat for every meal for the rest of their lives.

Yes I'm sure dermatologists love it, probably because you won't stop spelling it out every ad break.

The Cupra advert with the car doing a J turn in a wet carpark for the 'mystery drama on ITV'

https://youtu.be/dLBwAWuO0pA

Its front brake callipers are rotating with the wheel !

but a good bit of CGI I suppose.
