Comment on What are your top tips for avoiding the impact of ads on your family? by Alec Muffett

I can’t remember my parents ever “dealing” with the issue when I was growing up in the USA, in one of the golden ages of advertising and in one of the most advertising-heavy cultures on the planet.

So, before responding/delving in, I’d be interested in the goal of such “dealing”?

To fend-off buying requests? To explain what Kotex actually sell? Why toilet-paper ads invariably feature puppies or cuddly bears? You speak of “commercialisation” but other than the undeniable one-way barrage of advertising messaging directed _at_ kids in general – which I remember from 1975 much as much as what I see on TV now – beyond that I don’t know what it entails other than it is being viewed by a baby boomer audience who saw the same thing…

My tactic was to start a conversation as soon as an advert break came on the TV, and to cut the sound so we could hear one another.

Thank you for your enquiry. Hopefully by now you will have received my email, and one of our Family Holiday team will have contacted you about the family concerned.

I am a health visitor based in Winchester. One of my families went on your Isle of Wright holiday last year, and she would like to go again this year. Is it to late for her to apply? Could you e-mail a contact telephone number so that I can forward it to the Mother.
Thank you, a Health Visitor.

We are not as yet aware of a Street Pastor group in Winchester, but since I visit regularly for lots of reasons I think it would be a great idea of it could be set up.

The nearest Street Pastor groups to Winchester are Basingstoke http://www.streetpastors.co.uk/CurrentLocations/South/Basingstoke/tabid/551/Default.aspx Southampton and Southampton http://www.streetpastors.co.uk/CurrentLocations/South/Southampton/tabid/563/Default.aspx – Richard Pitt is always very helpful at the latter!

All the best – MU Winchester, Webmistress

I am looking to get in contact with the street pastors that cover the Winchester area. If you are able to send me a contact for this group it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Comment on Mary Sumner by Success

My mother is an exemplary woman living the life Mary Sumner lived. Today being the mothering sunday in Nigeria I use this opportunity to say thank you to my mother for being a true and real mother and to my darling wife for toeing the paths of my mother. May the Almighty bless the works of women who are mothers.
