BEPPLE – BC Hydro selleth and taketh on solar power, but not payeth
ASK ANYONE who knows me, and they will tell you that I love the solar panels on my house. I'm one of hundreds of households across B.C. who have installed solar panels over the last few years. Look around Kamloops, and you will see more houses with solar all the time.
For me, it's a concrete way to take personal action on climate change and energy choices.
Three years ago, I installed a 2000 W panel system on my house. It was a sizeable investment of about $8,000, which will take 15 years or more to pay off.
But now, I'm one of hundreds of people who is concerned about household solar power here in B.C.
BC Hydro wants to walk away from their agreement with homeowners who generate solar power.
One of the main reasons I got the panels is that BC Hydro would buy my excess power. But that program, called Net Metering, is in jeopardy.
Net Metering works in part because whenever I have a surplus of electricity, the power flows to the BC Hydro grid. Then when my system doesn't produce enough electricity, like at night, I buy back from the grid. So some days I sell electricity to BC Hydro, some days I buy electricity back from BC Hydro.
At the end of the year, using Net Metering, BC Hydro calculates whether I've bought or sold more power to them. BC Hydro pays me what I pay them: 9.99¢/kWh.
Last year, BC Hydro paid me about $60 for the electricity I sold them over the year. The $60 may not seem like much, but over 15 years, that is $900. That is 11 per cent of the cost of my system. A sizeable portion of my original investment.
This week, BC Hydro announced Net Metering will not be available to customers generating power beyond their own energy needs.
BC Hydro no longer wants to buy back excessive power from me, or any other homeowner.
In effect, they want to walk away from their original agreement with me. They would, of course, take any excess power from me: power flows back and forth between my home's solar panels and BC Hydro's grid on a daily basis. But what they don't want to do is pay for the excess power I produce at the end of each year.
BC Hydro wants to take my excess power and sell it to others. But they want to pocket the $60 for themselves.
They don't want to pay me the $60 for the power they gained from me (which they will sell to my neighbors).
There are many power producers who sell power to BC Hydro. Domtar and Tolko here in Kamloops both generate power from wood waste, and sell excess to BC Hydro. Run of the river hydro projects sell power to BC Hydro as well, typically at a far higher rate than BC Hydro pays me and other homeowners.
BC Hydro wants to treat homeowners who produce power differently than their other power producers.
They'll take excess power from homeowners, of course. They just don't want to pay for it.
They don't want to pay me my $60 per year. Or pay any of the other hundreds of homeowners as well.
This could be a death knell for household solar systems in BC.
Keep in mind, I paid 100 per cent for the cost of my system, as did the hundreds of other homeowners for theirs. Other homeowners who installed solar paid for 100 per cent of their systems too.
Keep in mind, the cost of Site C is estimated at $10.7 billion, a cost that we will all be paying for years to come. That's $10.7 billion coming out of BC Hydro's coffers. And the money that will have to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is you and me.
BC Hydro will take my $60 to help pay for Site C.
There is a basic unfairness to a utility taking power from one source at no cost, then selling to someone else at a profit.
Unfairness aside, hundreds of people, including myself, were willing to invest in our shared future by creating solar power systems. Hundreds more might want to as well.
But when BC Hydro is not willing to pay for the power, it is a signal that they have no interest in household solar systems. They have no interest in fairness either.
Nancy Bepple is a former city councillor of Kamloops with a strong interest in community building projects.

Just Say "No" to Vendor Hegemony
If you've been watching the news lately, it should be pretty clear that the enterprise technology business is changing ― and fast.
For one thing, the private equity guys are stepping in – lured in part by the ongoing revenue streams created by maintenance contracts, perpetual licenses, the "upgrade handcuffs," and other affectations of an industry in which the established vendors have been able to ride herd over customers for far too long.
But enterprise software leaders are being disrupted by changing consumer preferences up and down the application stack ― Google Apps over Microsoft Office, Dropbox and Google Drive over corporate file systems, Solar Winds over Tivoli, and so on ― and by superior cloud-based offerings in virtually every layer of the enterprise technology stack ― from platform to database to network monitoring and IT management.
Meanwhile, enterprise hardware leaders (like Dell) are being disrupted by the proliferation of post-PC-era devices like smartphones and tablets, consumer preference for them, and corporate IT's grudging acceptance of them (BYOx).
I've written about this topic ― enterprise software sales and procurement practices ― a lot in the past. Watching corporate customers continue to kowtow to old-guard enterprise software vendors ― and put up with antiquated business practices that make no sense ― makes me crazy. It's like watching your kid step out in front of a bus.
As the guard continues to change in enterprise technology vendors, it's going to be more challenging (and expensive) for customers to continue to cling to the status quo. Some of the best new enterprise technology is coming out of start-ups, working from cloud platforms and the open-source software stack – both of which are proven and reliable concepts.
For most customers, it's past time to move into the 21st century. If you don't, you risk being left behind holding the bag ― the bag of money being proffered to vendors with little expectation of customer control over product performance.
However, if you're still clinging to the old ways ― or feel that you need to while you get your senior management team acclimated to the new world ― here are five rules to protect yourself:
- Don't buy something if you don't know it works. Don't buy slideware! Seems obvious, but even yours truly has fallen victim to this, unfortunately. This is hardest with new products/start-ups – but it's a good discipline for both the start-up and the customer.
- Don't pay in perpetuity for something that you may only use for a short period of time. In particular: Don't continue to pay maintenance for products you are no longer using!
- Get the procurement and sales people out of the way. Let the engineers ― on the vendor and customer sides ― be the primary drivers of product evaluation and selection.
- Make the vendor commit to deploying in production at scale. Just installing software does not value create.
- If the vendor does their job, give them public kudos, especially if it's an early-stage vendor. Public kudos mean a lot to early-stage vendors ― far more than the money you will pay them ― because they seek validation for their innovation. You'll help their cause ― and yours.
If every buyer of enterprise software would just stick to these five basic rules, many of the enterprise software leaders ― particularly Oracle ― would go out of business.
Also, check out new services ― such as TrustRadius ― where you can get objective opinions from real users on what works and what does not. Services such as this will likely replace firms like Gartner or Forrester over the next decade.
To traditional enterprise tech vendors with outdated business models, bloated engineering organizations, and outrageous costs of sales, I say: "Be afraid. Be very afraid." It's a new world.

Saucisse is a Deli for the Jazz Ages
Sauisse is a Woodstock classic, making you feel like Woodstock is the same as it was 70 years ago. It's your local deli up the road, fit for anyone looking for a quick take-away or a sit-down meal.
With a big selection of cheese, pastries and meats, the focus is all on the food. Delicious croissants, mouth-watering tarts and cakes that will make you jitter and jump. On the menu they've also got a range of classic breakfasts that look fit for a king. If you're here after 1, they've got sandwiches and salads that will sort out your sobriety. There's no booze on the menu either, so don't be stressed. The food is pricey but with the meat, cheese and bread being fresh, I reckon it'll be damn delicious.
The coffee is a Captain Kirnis classic. Unfortunately, the barista skills aren't the best in the west but hey. The coffee is also a little expensive, but they've got some delicious looking teas on the menu for R15 a pop. If you're feeling spicy, I'd opt for their super flat whites which include the golden turmeric and red velvet cocoa for R28.
The vibe inside is cute, sweet and filled with character. It feels like it's got a somewhat hipster Victorian vibe with off greens and creams filling the room. One of the walls is covered with pictures of Cape Town back in the day. The opposite wall is filled with trendy corner store stuff and the fridges are filled with tasty cheese and meats.
The music that plays in the background will make you feel like you've just been to a classical concert. They've also got a great outside sitting area where you can stare at a water feature from way back when. On a hot day, the sun will give you a superb tan, but I'd recommend hiding inside when it's cold.
If you want to feel like you're in the jazz era or if you like good wholesome food, give Sauisse a shot. It's located in the Biscuit Mill so make sure you come during the week to ensure it's calm and quiet.

| 10.9°C Belfast
Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri confessed he got his selection wrong as they struggled to a draw against Southampton.
The Saints claimed a deserved point after holding the champions 0-0 at the King Power Stadium to leave the Foxes 10 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Charlie Austin hit the post and missed a golden second-half chance when his chip failed to beat the exposed Kasper Schmeichel with Ranieri conceding his side should have lost.
Both teams played in Europe last week as Leicester beat Porto 1-0 in the Champions League while Southampton drew 0-0 with Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League and Saints boss Claude Puel made seven changes.
Ranieri made just one, replacing Luis Hernandez with Danny Simpson, and with the game marking the end of seven matches in 22 days for the Foxes, Ranieri admitted he could have rotated more.
"I have to think when we play every three days and maybe it was much better to give a rest to some players," he said, after substituting Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton in the second half.
"Southampton played a couple of days after us but changed seven players and I changed just one, it's not enough but I'm happy with a point for this reason.
"The international break is here but how many players will rest with me? Six? Seven? The others go for their international matches and come back two or three days before Chelsea. Then after that we have the Champions League (against Copenhagen). I have to think about it."
Leicester have at least kept two clean sheets in the Champions League and Premier League since last week's 4-1 defeat at Manchester United and stretched their unbeaten home league run to 19 games.
But they have only won two of their opening seven league games and a second shock title already looks unlikely.
Ranieri added: "I recognise Southampton played better than us and they deserved to win. We created some chances but they created more than us. Kasper Schmeichel made two or three great saves, they hit the post and for us one point is okay."
Puel refused to blame Austin for not scoring but admitted he was frustrated. He said: "It's easy to see the solution from the bench but he chose another. I believe it was okay but it's a shame because there was a situation to finish and take three points."
LEICESTER: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Amartey, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Albrighton (Gray, 66 mins), Vardy (Okazaki, 66 mins), Slimani (Ulloa, 78 mins). Unused subs: Zieler, Hernández, Schlupp, King
SOUTHAMPTON: Forster, Cedric (Martina, 27 mins), Fonte, Davis, Austin (Ward-Prowse, 83 mins), Tadic (Long, 71 mins), Romeu, Van Dijk, Bertrand, Redmond, Hojbjerg. Unused subs: Yoshida, Clasie, McCarthy, Olomola
Referee: Martin Atkinson
Man of the match: Oriol Romeu
Match rating: 5/10

Carbon Emissions Reduction Targets
Climate Action in the Buildings Sector: How to Incorporate Buildings Actions in Nationally Determined Contributions
Building the path to 1.5°C: What the Paris Agreement Means for Buildings & Construction
The Paris Agreement on Climate Change is a historic achievement for humanity and for the Building Sector. We now have a common legally binding agreement to hold global warming well below 2oC with aspiration to achieve 1.5oC integrated with frameworks for action on resilience and adaptation.
The Building Sector's continuous 'Volkswagen' Moment
A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of catching up with one of the hero's of the V.W. emissions scandal, Drew Kodjak, the Executive Director of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). His team performed road tests on a small random sample of EU imported cars and found discrepancies. They reported them to State authorities, which ran more tests, found the same discrepancy, and then reported to the U.S. EPA. The process took about 18 months, and well, you probably know the rest of the story.
"There is no Plan B": Vision is as important as Ambition to tackle climate change
Have you seen President Obama's speech announcing the U.S. EPA Clean Power Plan?
The Clean Power Plan is a key element of the US's contribution to climate action and the debate on the global agreement taking shape ahead of COP21 in Paris this December. Beyond the content of the Plan itself, the rhetoric of Obama's launch speech and the way he communicated the vision and role for his country is important for all leaders as we prepare for COP21.
Time to Clean the Building Efficiency Garage and Get Organized to implement COP21 Commitments
In the last couple of weeks I was fortunate to have attended two important meetings in Paris convened by separate groups, but each with the same aim of developing actions that could again raise the profile of building energy efficiency and the potential of the sector to contribute significantly to achieving climate change goals. At the same time a different set of stakeholders with the same objectives was meeting in New York. All groups are looking ahead to COP21 in Paris as a potential catalyst for finally mainstreaming sustainable buildings and cities. However, despite common intentions, we risk failing to seize this opportunity due to a lack strategic coordination.
Integrating Renewable Energy Requirements in Building Codes is Key to Helping the Building Sector Achieve its Mitigation Potential
Coordinated Global Action is Necessary to Achieve the Buildings Sector's Mitigation Potential
"SMART BAHGS" for Policy Makers: How to Build up a Credible S.O.S?
What level of ambition should we have in supporting policies that achieve CO2 emission reductions from buildings? What we can we do together that can harness Speed and Opportunity to go to Scale (S.O.S)?
How to organize a collective response by the building sector to the global issue of climate change?
Welcome to the new GBPN global Knowledge Platform. The building sector is incredibly diverse. In some ways creating a building is one of the most complex tasks that humans undertake – and yet building is a natural human activity reflecting our cultural, technological and economic preferences and priorities. But with so much local diversity and complexity in both process and in the outcomes of our building how can we design strategies that can organize a collective response by the sector to the global issue of climate change?

Hi, my loves! How are you all doing? Delhi has been good of late as there's a nip in the air and the temperature has dropped, giving us pleasant days and cooler nights. Since the wedding season ensues, I thought there could be no better time to showcase some solid style inspiration for those whose BFF's are getting married. Today's post is about the incredible blend of elegance and simplicity. I am wearing this unique floor length indigo anarkali which I think strikes immutable quality and style.
Elegance inspire me a lot. I am a sucker for pieces that have a unique touch of sophistication. Equally, simplicity has always been the hallmark of elegance. This anarkali speaks volume and is extremely flowy. The lightly embroidered golden border at the low edge of the cold shoulder sleeves adds to the character of this outfit. A quintessential minimalistic look, with embroidery on selected patches, packs the right kind of heaviness to a party dress for those not nig on excessive bling. I have paired it with matching blue and golden chaandbalis and the result was beautiful. The outfit is a mix of contemporary and traditional fusing modern and classical genres – perfect for your BFF's Sangeet or Mehendi ceremony. I hope you like the post and enjoyed the pictures! I'll be back soon with yet another post! Till then, love.
What I Wore:
Anarkali: Max
Jewellery: Lajpat Nagar
*Please forgive my puffy eyes due to lack of proper rest!

Members of Parliament take action after Sunday Times 'blood libel'
Our story about the disgusting Sunday Times cartoon has now elicited responses from Members of the British Parliament, urging the paper to apologise
The Commentator was the first to highlight the deplorable cartoon in yesterday's Sunday Times. Our reporting and commentary was picked up across a range of media outlets from around the world, and has resulted in condemnations of the toon from some of the world's largest anti-racism organisations such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Now, Members of the British Parliament are acting to force an apology from the Sunday Times, with Louse Ellman MP the first to file her letter stating her 'disgust'.
See the full letter below:
Mr Martin Ivens
Acting Editor
The Sunday Times
3 Thomas More Square
London E98 1XY
28 January 2012
I am writing to express my disgust over the Sunday Times' publication of Gerald Scarfe's cartoon on 27th January, depicting the Israeli prime minister using blood to build a wall out of Palestinians.
As you are no doubt aware, the Jewish people have been accused throughout the centuries of the so-called "blood libel," so I find it all the more shocking that you would publish Gerald Scarfe's evocation of this anti-Semitic trope on 27th January, Holocaust Memorial Day.
This gross insensitivity demands a full apology, not the excuse that it was somehow in reference to Israel's elections. At a time when civilians are being killed by their own regimes across the region, I fail to see how Scarfe's blood imagery, in reference to Israel's peaceful democratic elections, helps you to fulfil your duty of keeping your readership accurately informed.
Undoubtedly there are debates to be had about the complex situation in the Middle East, but depicting the ongoing conflict in terms of emotive and offensive imagery will not pave the way to a solution.
I urge you to make a full apology.
Louise Ellman MP
Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement
Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Israel
Latest on the blog
We are wholly dependent on the kindness of our readers for our continued work. We thank you in advance for any support you can offer.

Reporting directly to CEO Mike Duke, he is responsible for shaping the retail giant's image amid slowing sales and reputational issues such as a bribery probe in Mexico, employee protests, and increased scrutiny on its safety standards at Bangladeshi suppliers.
At press time, Bloomberg News speculated that Duke was on his way out in the coming months, meaning Bartlett would have to help navigate a leadership transition and gain the ear of a new chief executive at one of the most scrutinized publicly traded companies.
Like his predecessor Leslie Dach, Bartlett has served as a member of the White House communications staff, advising President George W. Bush. Drawing on that experience in high-pressure situations, Bartlett will have to continue Dach's efforts of positioning Walmart as a good corporate citizen in addition to being a leading low-cost retailer.

A quick update: lots of writing, disappearing to West Yorkshire, blog stat plummet and other waffle.
Today is a record day on the blog for both visits and page views. Due to my day job, I am an online marketer who specialises in Database driven marketing, I tend to obsess over my stats. So was today down to my wit? Was it down to my fiction? […]

Sir Patrick Stewart: David Miliband ought really to be running UK
Sir Patrick Stewart has said that David Miliband "ought really" to be running the UK.
The actor, who has been vocal in his opposition to Brexit, backed Mr Miliband during the close-fought race for Labour leader in 2010, when he was beaten by his brother Ed.
Sir Patrick said that despite the current political climate there were figures, such as Mr Miliband and some US politicians, in whom he believed.
However, he said he felt a "profound" sense of anxiety that things in the US were not going to turn out the way he hoped.
Asked who he was able to trust today, Sir Patrick told the PA news agency: "There are individuals that I believe in.
"For instance, I believe in David Miliband, who is now running the International Rescue Committee from New York, and ought really to be running the UK. But you know what happened there.
"There are some of the contenders for the American presidency who I have great respect for, though I also have profound anxiety that it's not going to turn out the way I would like it to turn out…"
Rumours of a rift between the Miliband brothers dominated the 2010 Labour leadership election.
Mr Miliband stood down from the Labour frontbench within days of his brother's win, and quit as an MP in 2013 to head the International Rescue Committee.
Sir Patrick, who stars in Amazon Prime Video series Star Trek: Picard, earlier this month described Brexit as "the grimmest thing" to have happened to him in his political life.
Speaking at the show's premiere in London, he told PA: "It makes me very, very sad.
"I think what is happening with the European Union is actually the saddest, grimmest thing that has happened to me since I have been involved in politics."
Star Trek: Picard launches on Amazon Prime Video on Friday January 24.

The 10 most-complained about UK adverts of 2016 have been revealed by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The year saw thousands contact the watchdog to complain that their television was being filled with sexual innuendo, homophobia, pro-LGBT messages and cruelty to animals.
MoneySupermarket.com dominated the overall list, with three of its adverts featuring in the top five – including the number-one spot for the second year running.
The price comparison website's ad campaigns – these days typically featuring men wearing tight shorts and high heels – were accused of being overtly sexual, unsuitable for children, homophobic and even encouraging hate crimes.
Together, the three ads gave rise to almost 2,500 complaints to the ASA.
The next-highest number of complaints – an advert for online dating website Match.com featuring two lesbians kissing – resulted in almost 900 offended viewers claiming it was "sexually explicit" and "inappropriately scheduled".
Betting site Paddy Power, meanwhile, saw two of its adverts make the top 10. One re-run ad from 2010 featured blind footballers accidentally kicking a cat instead of a ball, drawing 450 complaints from viewers who claimed it encouraged cruelty to animals and was offensive to blind people.
Another ad for the betting site jokingly showed a group of Scottish people singing about the fact that they didn't mind they hadn't qualified for the summer's UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament, because they could still bet on England to lose in it. Viewers said the ad was racist, with some believing it encouraged anti-English views and others claiming the stereotypes of Scottish people seen in the ad was offensive.
The government also saw one of its own adverts featured in the ASA's top 10 list for 2016. The Home Office's 'Disrespect Nobody' campaign, intended to help inform young people about domestic abuse, drew 216 complaints, with viewers claiming the TV ad was sexist and implied that only men engaged in abuse.
Other top-10 entrants for 2016 include restaurant chain Gourmet Burger Kitchen's series of posters promoting the eating of meat, and a TV ad for Maltesers chocolates showing a disabled woman speak about accidentally giving hand relief to her boyfriend during an involuntary "spasm".
Despite all adverts in the top 10 drawing almost 5,000 complaints combined, none were banned after the ASA found that they did not breach advertising rules.
ASA chief executive Guy Parker said: "The ads that attract the highest number of complaints are often not the ones that need banning. Our action leads to thousands of ads being amended or withdrawn each year, mostly for being misleading, but there wasn't one misleading ad in the Top 10.
"In the list there are a number of ads, which while advertising their product or service, have also sought to present a positive statement about diversity but were in fact seen by some as doing the opposite. In all those cases, we thought people generally would see the ads in a positive light and that the boundary between bad taste and serious or widespread offence had been navigated well enough, often through using sensible scheduling restrictions.
"Advertising that pushes the boundaries invariably lands better with some people than others. But last year we thought the ads that attracted the largest number of complaints fell the right side of the line."
The full top 10 list can be found below.
1. Moneysupermarket.com (1,063 complaints – not upheld)
This TV ad for price-comparison website MoneySupermarket featured 'Gary the Bodyguard' dressed in a suit and sunglasses, dancing at a rally. Offended viewers complained Gary's dance moves were "overtly sexual and not suitable to be seen by children".
The ASA said: "While acknowledging some viewers may have found the dance moves distasteful, we judged the ad wouldn't cause serious or widespread offence to viewers and the ad was generally likely to be interpreted in a humorous manner."
2. Moneysupermarket.com (898 complaints – not upheld)
MoneySupermarket's 'Epic Squads' TV ad showed a character, Dave, dressed in suit jacket, denim shorts and high heels, and another character, Colin, dressed in a fluorescent jacket and hard hat.
They were joined by other men dressed in the same clothes and engaged in a dance-off.
Similar to the complaints the company received about its other adverts, almost 900 viewers said the the ad was "offensive and overtly sexual". But some also claimed the ad could be seen to be "homophobic" and could even "encourage hate crimes".
The ASA said: "Although the ad would no doubt be seen as distasteful by some, we concluded that, given the overall content and tone, it was unlikely to provoke serious or widespread offence or to be seen as condoning or encouraging harmful discriminatory behaviour in real life."
3. Match.com (896 complaints – not upheld)
This TV ad for online dating service Match.com showed a women getting home from work to her female partner, who removed her top and passionately kissed her.
It drew almost 900 complaints from people who claimed the ad was "sexually explicit" and "inappropriately scheduled".
The ASA said: "We judged the ad would not cause serious or widespread offence and were satisfied that the scheduling restriction it had been given prevented it being shown in or around dedicated children's programmes or those with particular appeal to children."
4. Moneysupermarket.com (530 complaints – not upheld)
Another TV ad for MoneySupermarket – this time seeing characters Dave and Colin alone in an underground car park performing dance moves in a bid to out-do each other. All the complainants said the ad was "overtly sexual", while a high proportion also claimed it was offensive because it showed what they perceived to be two homosexuals together.
The ASA said: "While always taking into account the fact some people may find the ad distasteful, we ruled the ad did not break the rules as the majority of viewers would interpret the scenes as light-hearted and humorous."
5. Paddy Power (450 complaints – not upheld)
This ad featuring two teams of blindfolded men playing football was first shown in 2010 when it generated over 1,000 complaints and become the most complained-about advert for that year. Viewers then, and last year when the ad was re-run, objected to the scene where it was suggested that a man had kicked a cat that had run on to the pitch after mistaking it for the ball.
Complainants said the ad was harmful as it "might encourage cruelty to animals" and that is was "offensive to blind people".
The ASA said: "In our investigation in 2010, we judged the ad had not broken the rules. We noted the ad didn't show any of the footballers making direct contact with the cat and the animal was shown unharmed at the end of the ad.
"We also noted the ad was prohibited from appearing in and around children's programmes. Furthermore the ad featured, and was supported by, members of the England Blind Football Team.
"We concluded that the majority of viewers would see the ad as humorous and not humiliating or undermining to blind people. As we had already investigated the ad in 2010, we did not re-investigate it in 2016."
6. Smart Energy (253 complaints – not upheld)
Smart Energy's ad showed cartoon characters Gaz and Leccy in a number of scenarios within a house, including them being burnt in a toaster, hit across the room with a spatula, cooked in a microwave and electrocuted by the television set. Some 253 people complained the ad was "excessively violent" and that it "failed to make clear the dangers of gas and electrical devices, particularly to children who might see the ad".
The ASA said: "We did not uphold the complaints, judging the cartoon nature of the ad made it clear the scenarios were surreal and fantastical. We also noted the voiceover in the ad stated the need for Gaz and Leccy to be controlled."
7. Paddy Power (220 complaints – not upheld)
This TV ad for Paddy Power showed a group of Scottish people singing about the fact they didn't mind their team hadn't qualified for the summer's Euro 2016 football tournament, because they could still bet on England to lose in it. Complainants said the ad was racist, with some believing it encouraged anti-English views while others believed the stereotypes of Scottish people seen in the ad were offensive.
The ASA said: "We acknowledged that some viewers might have found the sentiment of the ad to be unkind, but as a whole it would generally be understood to be a light-hearted and humorous reflection of the friendly sporting rivalry between England and Scotland.
"We ruled the stereotypical features used to describe and depict the Scottish people in the ad would largely be understood to be a celebration of Scottish culture rather than malicious mocking."
8. Home Office (216 complaints – not upheld)
Under the then-Home Secretary Theresa May, the Home Office last year launched its 'Disrespect Nobody' campaign to help inform young people about domestic abuse. Its TV ad, which featured various scenarios deemed unacceptable in a relationship, prompted complaints that the ad was sexist.
Complainants said it implied only men engaged in abusive behaviours and that it might prevent male victims of domestic abuse from seeking help.
Viewers particularly objected to the language used in the ad to describe things in a relationship that could be a sign of domestic abuse. This included: "If you're checking your girlfriend's phone"; "If your boyfriend is telling you how to dress" and "If you turn to violence when your girlfriend disagrees with you".
The ASA said: "We did not uphold the complaints as there were no direct claims made in the ad which related to the likelihood of boys or men in particular being abusive. The ad also contained some more gender-neutral scenarios and encouraged viewers to search for more information about the campaign online, where resources were also available for boys being abused by girls and for those who were lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender."
9. Gourmet Burger Kitchen (195 complaints – not upheld)
A series of ads for restaurant chain Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) saw almost 200 complain they were offensive to vegetarians and vegans. The ads featured phrases such as: "You'll always remember when you gave up being a vegetarian", "Anyone fancy a nice, juicy, 6oz lettuce?", "Resistance is futile", "Burger is the new quinoa" and "They eat grass so you don't have to" with a picture of a cow.
GBK withdrew three of the adverts following the complaints, with the two ads that mentioned lettuce and quinoa remaining in the promotional campaign.
The ASA said: "We took no further action on these two ads as we considered they were likely to be interpreted by most viewers as general references to ingredient and food-trend preferences rather than broader comments on vegetarianism, veganism or other beliefs."
10. Mars Chocolate UK Ltd t/a Maltesers (151 complaints – not upheld)
A Maltesers ad showed a woman in a wheelchair discussing her new boyfriend with two of her friends while enjoying packs of the chocolate. She mentions how her disability caused her to have a spasm during a romantic encounter, which her boyfriend 'misinterpreted' as hand relief.
Offended viewers said the ad was "overly sexual" and was "offensive to disabled people".
The ASA said: "We ruled the women's conversation was likely to be seen as light-hearted and the allusion to a sexual act, although understandably distasteful to some, would not cause serious or widespread offence to viewers in general.
"We also noted the ad had a post-9pm restriction to prevent children from seeing it, and that it was likely to be seen as championing diversity and disability, not ridiculing it."
