    Well - it's obvious that a lot of companies are making loads of money from this.

    But - yeh it is annoying on the telly, all those women cashing in their stuff for scrap value.

    Yes sick of them, loads of them on the telly even Anne Diamond advertising one this morning.

    There was even a small kiosk in our local shopping centre offering to buy gold, even had a small digital scale with them.

    why do people fall for it and get totally ripped off? none of them are paying the proper value for the gold but the british public are sooooooooo dumb.

    There don't seem to be anywhere near as many of those showing as there used to be (apart from that injurylawyers4u being on every 2 minutes still!). I would expect the gold adverts to go the same away as surely there wont be this many still showing 6 months or 1 year down the line?

    Maybe we could send for the envelopes and then send them back filled with rice for developing countries.
