Online ads to overtake TV in UK

Online ads to overtake TV

The internet will overtake TV as the biggest advertising platform in the UK this year with total ad spend of around £3.56bn, according to a report by Enders Analysis.

But does this mean it’s more effective? I think I would still rather have 30 seconds on peak time TV than the equivalent cost on t’internet. I confess I have no idea if I know what that would mean in web exposure, but TV still feels like you’re in lots of living rooms where it matters more than being on the “lean forwards” screen..

The barriers are down as I approach Haxby level crossing. These kids
are on their way to Joseph Rowntree School. It’s about 8.30am.
A few miles home from here and I’ll have done about 14 miles. Enough
training for today.

I spotted these vans as I approached the lay by where they were
parked. They were fastened up with no sign of life so I risked
stopping for a photo. I’d just snapped this picture when I heard dogs
barking so I beat a hasty retreat towards Haxby.
The training run ran on adreniline for a few hundred yards until the
yapping died away.

Just time for a short ride this morning so I’m heading out towards
Stockton (on the Forest not Tees) this my usual stop to stretch my
tight muscles before circling the city to Haxby or Skelton.

This is all for a sponsored ride to raise money for Palestinian
students coming to the Riding Lights Summer School. Link for donations

It’s been a busy work day today so no cycle training. So here’s a
picture taken a couple of days ago on the road (actually just off the road) near Castle Howard.

The new thing is that I am sending this picture AND message from my phone. My brother reminded me that I could do this through Flickr.

So now I’ll be updating both pictures and text from the road during training and on the sponsored ride in July.
