not yet done with advertising

I don't just get a bee in my bonnet, I have a hive's worth of them pursuing me everywhere I go. I wish I were different, but sometimes the pay-off is a laugh.

Tonight, for example. I was innocently undertaking a recky of apartments in Instanbul when I stumbled across one with a reasonable number of photographs. These included two of the bathroom, both taken from the same vantage point - with one difference: one shot featured the loo seat down, the other showed the loo seat up. A welcome variation on the 'his and hers', wash hand basins, I suppose. I wish I were clever enough to scan in those photos. But that, no doubt, would be infringing some regulation or other.


































In my recent diatribe about advertising I forgot to mention the frustration/anger experienced when I go onto a website looking for accommodation in a specific location, click on a button which promises to take me to the relevant page and find myself somewhere thousands of miles away. For example, I could be checking out self-catering accommodation in Kent and end up looking at photos of five star hotels in Rio de Janeiro. Please could someone explain to me - in simple language - how this happens? Is it just crap website design or am I doing something inexplicably stupid? Or does some website design punter truly believe a person looking for a cheapish holiday in the south of England might suddenly change her mind -due to finding out - mid-search - she's won the lottery or having a deranged moment - and think: actually I don't mind spending £5000. Brazil does look rather good... DOES THIS HAPPEN??? Answers please by email, or send a postcard to: The Professional Nutter, north Edinburgh.






Truly madly yours
