Thank you Damien Hazelton for voicing what many of us thought was obvious (South China Morning Post, June 11). You are not alone. The commercial breaks are certainly louder than the programmes, but it is more necessary to adjust the volume after 9.30pm for fear of the noise waking the neighbours.

My husband and I operate our own 'right to choose', (something the ads tell us is the reason for their existence) by keeping the controller at hand and switching off for the duration of the break.

As the Calvin Klein commercial suggests, repeatedly and monotonously, we prefer 'nothing at all'.
