Its that time of the year when we are agog to see whether the john Lewis advert will top the previous year.
Ahh...the lonely penguin really pulled on my heartstrings this year.
however the other day I caught my other half with tears in his eyes, and fearing the worst i asked what was the matter.
"watch this" he said and directed me to the Sainsburys advert.
Oh, have you seen it?
It is so emotional and was commisioned not only by Sainsburys but the Royal British Legion.
How sad then that 139 people have complained to advertising standards that the Great War shouldn't be used to promote a supermarket.
I disagree. Anything that shows what our soldiers went through is a good thing and this advert is pure genuis.
Thoughts?
