Another version of this is some kind of advert, but I don't know for what. I don't speak German.

Why don't we get adverts like that? It would make it worthwhile switching the telly on!

Yes but in Britain we have the BBC. That means the best quality television and radio in the world and no adverts at all. Its the one thing we can still be proud of in this rapidly disintegrating country Very Happy

I have and I agree with you. For all its faults, BBC TV is still the best.
