Fuelling anger

Yet another irritating ad from BBC News in my X/Twitter timeline, pointing me to a piece published on 1st July. It's credited to Tom Edgington, who, on Linkedin, is billed as Senior Reporter & Digital Lead, BBC Verify.

How to save money on petrol and diesel.

X/Twitter tells me "One reason you might be seeing this ad is that you are similar to the follower of BBC Sport. One reason you might be seeing this ad is that you are part of or similar to an audience from BBC News (UK). There might be other reasons you’re seeing this ad, including that BBC News (UK) wants to reach people between the ages of 25 and 49 and located here: United Kingdom. "

I'm 71 and have never been licenced to drive a car. Does a bloke on Verify feels comfortable pushing features that are 87 days old ?
