I totally get why the decision has been made to have AdWords on the site (just like every other site the world over that has it), however adblock was invented for a reason.
Unfortunately my WP can't block ads. My android and apple devices have it installed, just as my laptop does.
But you have to scroll past how many adverts on your way up or down an escalator...? Haymarket has them in between the escalators, on the walls along side, and on the screens above.
It was always foreseen that people would mention it, but I believe it's more a case that it's because people haven't seen anything like that on NEB before? Compared to most websites, it's far from being intrusive, in my opinion.
I appreciate that AdBlock was invented for a reason, and I myself use it, but I've simply added NEB and a few other sites I use as an exception. I see it as something I can put up with, if it being there means that it contributes towards a website I use frequently and value.
