It's a great pity that AB appears to be totally reliant upon revenue from adverts.
For such a great site, I would be willing to pay an annual membership fee.; providing it was reasonable...say £10/15.....in fact I would accept anything up to £25.p.a.( which is less than 50p. per week.)
I have never heard so much drivel in my life! As a practicing vegetarian ( no, I don't hanker after a bacon buttie) why would someone find an ad offensive? I just don't get it, it's like saying a teetotal won't watch ads on tv for strongbox etc.... Bizarre to say the least.
