1116946 2010-07-08 00:05:00 The reality is that this might indeed happen. We're in a world where the economy is measured in dollars. The currency of wealth is measured in cash rather than measured in a population of happy healthy educated and productive people.

It may well be that the day will come when the content you want will not appear until you've clicked through a bunch of ad screens first.

Try going to Metservice on an underpowered PC. You have to sit and wait for the entire Uncle Toby's breakfast ad has completed a loop of the animation before you finally get to see the 10 day forcast! Painful! I hate you Uncle Toby!

That is a taste of worse to come!

If you want a good weather site that has no ads, use metvuw.spork.in

Use the scrollbar down the left-hand side to visualise the weather trends for the next 7 days

1116951 2010-07-08 02:01:00 Most of the forums I frequent I do not block the ads.

However PressF1 just takes the piss, and I hope as many people as possible completely block all the crap.

I hope you have told the metservice how bad your experience with their site has been.
