I was getting Italian pension advice for a few days.
I also get a lot of Chinese herbal medication in Mandarin, which I cannot read.
Today adverts from a house removal company in Malay, that I can. I think that the Selling it all or downsizing thread in Audio triggered this one.

I remember when going to Rotterdam a couple of years ago (remember when we could travel...) I started getting ads in Dutch. I guess it depends where the ad server thinks your location is. Odd that it would think you'd decamped to the far east if you're still at home though. Maybe have a delve in your system settings. Are you using a VPN perhaps? If so, has your VPN portal moved?

I am in Kuala Lumpur, so they get that right.
I wonder if threads about equipment from the UK vs China trigger foreign adverts?
I'm getting a kitchen knife (sharpening thread), clothing (I was looking at shirts) and, bizarrely, a range of hydraulic equipment to be attached to tractors. (No idea).
There was a time when I was getting houses for sale in Switzerland, that was rather nice. Log cabins offering mountain views and with water but no electricity, it was a pleasant little diversion.

I’ve started getting hyperactive stock trading ads that seem to be grabbing bandwidth. My iPad stutters in synch with the flashing tickertape on the ad.
No, but I'm glad that they are. The alternative if we couldn't bury them either would be dreadful. I reckon I'm going for a woodland burial, seen a place doing it on land with views to Ingleborough. When the time comes they can plant me, something like a rowan or a birch on top, fence the sheep out, job done. 20 years on it will be woodland.

A corpse copse.
Yep, sounds good to me. I don't want to waste a lot of resource either, one thing I admire about the Muslim faith is that they don't use coffins. A sheet to cover the body is adequate. I'd favour a cardboard coffin, relatives could decorate it with photos and messages, then a minimal amount of an inexpensive biodegradable material returns to nature.
