Default Annoying radio ads

I don't watch live TV so I don't know how annoying the TV ads are.

But I do listen to the radio and let me tell you, the radio ads are very annoying.

It's the voices. They're awful. There's one woman who sounds like a Geordie chipmunk who is all over radio ads. Beats me how she got into radio. Her voice is just terribly annoying. I wouldn't hire her as a Tesco customer service advisor. A long time ago, You actually had to have a good voice to be in radio. Not now.

There's also an ad for Renault. There's a stupid ****ing woman who puts on this French accent. Someone must have said, 'you can do a French accent you know'. No, she can't. You can hear parts where the French accent slips and it makes me want to reach for the volume control. OFF.
