    I agree with WYNIRO much as personally I think he is a total cock.

    We don’t all get the same ads (unless you are all getting ones for the Camping and Caravaning Club every day) but I would have guessed at Music Radar. Richards Guitars might be funnier I’ll grant you. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    I used to enjoy his rambling YouTube rants. A bit of a guilty pleasure.

    You're lucky .......I have had 3 today ;
    1 Some boring battery charger for power tools
    2 A cat cafe
    3 Patio cleaner
      It's a shame but since my therapy and morality re-set causing a change in my browsing habits I no longer get the ads for things like "Fat bitches that like to party ", " Strict Lady Doctor says enema is compulsory " or "Best prices on Nappies for Adult Babies "
    Must be an algorithm thing

    I just get the Temu ads, although at least they’re now trying to sell me a cute fluffy Highland cow toy instead of the dubious “is that a sex toy, an implement of torture or something else?” things.

    Nothing against Richard , but I just found it funny to see the advert on here, since he was banned :).

    I've been thinking about a new acoustic, and a recent thread on here (Furch) took me straight to Richards.

    I'd really like to support him - independent, *very* passionate about what he does, impressive range of decent quality gear, but.


    I'm still torturing myself.
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Go in person and be prepared for an overenthusiastic welcome. All the horror stories seem to involve online sales and I always found him much better to deal with in meatspace.

    Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

    Was expecting this to say "Andertons".

    Followed by a YT expose that Lee Anderton owns shares in the Fretboard from KDH...
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    Lee has swapped the Forum for a couple of Guitars. We have a new Mod call Chappers and the Help and Feedback pages are awash with now Banned users 

    The Gear pages are now renamed Chappers Gear
    Chappers FX
    Made by Chappers
    Chappers Bass

    I use one at home but it creates its own issues, with sites bombarding me with "we see you're using an ad blocker" popups which are almost as annoying as the ads.  Anyway, for some sites I now use DuckDuckGo as a browser and that helps a lot.

    Back to Richard... on my work laptop I do see the ads, but I haven't seen one for Richard's Guitars.  He has some good stuff in his shop, to be fair, but having watched some of his videos and followed past threads on here, I don't think I'd ever buy from him.

    ...and your country thanks you :D

    I must admit, this thread made me chuckle (for some reason, I never saw that ad...).
