The flashback scene should definitely have been the Dad off his tits, hugging strangers.

99% of all TV adverts are shit and always have been. John Lewis feeling like they can define the Christmas season and “capture the mood” with their twee schtick is just ugh.
I hate adverts xx

Totally! Friday night as a wee man: Hong Kong Phoey. Steakhouse Grill. Monkey Magic. Auf Wiedersen Pet. Cracking night!
(Obviously I may be off in exact dates, but that’s what I remember).
For a Balearic twist, throw in a Bounty Bar advert! Yes, I’m dreaming of Paradise!

I’d be more than happy than to be perpetually stuck for all eternity in 1982 as a 10 year old. It all went downhill after that.

Which gives me an idea for next year’s John Lewis advert.

Well, not sure about perpetually. Friday night was great. But Sunday was always rubbish. All day!

I couldn’t make it out - what was it?
And a lot of the Left are themselves deep in the swamp of culture war shite and identity politics. The reality that any society that values tolerance will have to face the fact that certain values and rights can be unresolvable with others. It should be the job of politicians to make the best worst choices they can, and a population that can debate using critical thinking and some nuance. Instead of choose your side, turn off your brain, and have a shouting/abusive pissing contest.
Social media has played a big part, but the Political centre, and its post-Soviet arrogance, are up there too. I remember years ago, as a young electrician, people having genuine concern around immigration (downward pressure on wages due to cheap labour), yet were labelled racist/xenophobic. There wasn’t ever any reasonable debate allowed on immigration and the far right have happily filled that void. Same in other places/ideas.
A fairly recent and personal example was an interaction with a guy who was with a Palestinian march outside the Apple store in Edinburgh. He was shouting ‘Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah’ or some other shite. When asked if he didn’t have a problem with innocent Syrians being killed indiscriminately by barrel bombs, I was told I was a Zionist and European colonialism apologist - no response about those dead Syrians and towns that still barely exist. Wrong kind of victims?
Choose your side, ignore anything that goes against the group think, shout louder. I left social media during the Scottish Independence referendum because of this kind of stuff. It’s an order of magnitude worse now.

I never liked it-proper ‘handbag’ as we used to say- which is probably a bit misogynistic and silly in hindsight.
But each to their own obvs
