Bizarely, all the adverts on Bikeradar are now in French (Debitel on the right of the screen and Morhiban at the top). Am I alone in this? I'm in the UK, and confused.

    the reason is simple. the service provider that you are using at the moment is routed through France.

    i could give you more info but not on here.

    All mine are in Swedish..... well i am in Sweden and using a Swedish provider.

    Je ne comprende pas. I am in the UK, using BT Broadband but being bombarded by Les Bleus. Probably a sign of my advancing years that I don't understand this new fangled technology.

    Are the Swedish ads saucy? :wink:

    Tedious UK ads for loans, etc

    French ads would be nice

    Is there a way to stop them altogether?

    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Seconded - wonderful bit of software. Just wish I could use it at work!
    Even if the voices aren't real, they have some very good ideas.
