13:44 on Fri 29/Aug/03 Is it only me, or does anyone else want to punch her in the face everytime you hear her grating Yorkshire accent and see her ruin people's houses and try and flog telly's?

(16:30 on Fri 29/Aug/03) well yeah, pretty much. i'll even forgive you the criticism of the yorkshire accent. i really thought the days of these cheapo ads with their crappy jingles and pointless minor celeb appearances had passed. apparently not.

I want to say I have NOTHING against Yorkshire, or the accent, in fact I used to live in Yorkshire, it is just her accent that drives me up the wall......

(21:40 on Fri 29/Aug/03) I think she's really sexy. I've never seen any of her DIY progs - I avoid such things, but i think she's nice, and the ad doesn't irritate me at all. Now that Building Society one with the cartoon manager with the Brummie accent ...AAAAARGH!

(21:59 on Fri 29/Aug/03) She is a bit irritating but at least it's not that Lawrence Lewellyn (sp) Bowen, now, I don't think I'd need to punch him in the face, I think if I said BOO it might make him run away.... Andy Hughes, I am with you 1000% on that one! I'm afraid I have resorted to swearing at the television when that ad comes on!

(10:49 on Sat 30/Aug/03) It does seem to be the pitch of her voice that annoys people, not so much the fact that she comes from Yorkshire. As for ruining peoples houses, a lot of folk like that kind of decor. Not to my taste, but I would not let my home be used in that way.She seems attractive in a plain and untarty way. Thats got to be good.

(13:03 on Sat 30/Aug/03) It's the exaggerated ''S''es that annoy me, and the over-use of the word 'fantastic', which so many presenters of DIY type programmes seem to use! Apart from that, I think she's OK!
