Malcolm what 2014 means couldn't agree more

[Symptoms]

I didn't really don't know what to think about this advert.  Yep, beautifully created and poignant but it left me a little unsure about the reason for it's production.  Perhaps Sainsbury's will be donating tons of money to the British Legion and if that's the case, fine.  However, the reality was that after Jim gave Otto his bar of chocko they started trying to kill each other. 

 

In my view, WW1 maybe not the most appropriate source material for a supermarket advert.  At least I didn't see Sainsbury's name on the chockybar label.

Symptoms sainsburys are going to sell the bars of chocolate that's in the advert for £1 each all profits to the british legion poppy appeal

They been helping them for the last 20 years sainsbury & the british legion worked together on there advert to give an accurate account

Of what happened on a Christmas Day that's what the advert is about

[Malcolm Robinson]

I thought it was all about explaining why the Germany/ England football matches are so important!  

[keith lockey]

And that second goal was clearly offside.

[Tonyp]

Malcolm they are important it's against Germany...

The best Xmas ad is one that appears on 24th December, and is never seen again. They've got the bloody tree up in the Red Lion.

[Malcolm Robinson]

Aye Merc and Foxy was in two minds about going in last night because of it!  

 

We managed to persuade him!  

[mercuryg]

I'm sure the lure of cheap, decent beer was enough to convince him (although by that point I had likely finished the gorgeous 5.8% delight that was on offer at £1.49 a pint.....)

I didn't take much persuading merc,  

                                                                not after I got my eye on that gorgeous five foot eight delight..............and it wasn't the Xmas Tree

Would that be the lovely Darina you are referring to? Dark hair, utterly gorgeous (and half Russian)?

They're allowing women in bars now!!! Since when? 

[Tonyp]

They were very reluctant in the terrier Keith remember there was only one toilet the woman had to walk outside & all the way round

[keith lockey]

I remember Doris, Tony, I still have nightmares about her...and her slippers!!!

[Tonyp]

I don't think she liked women & defiantly not kids remember going to the shop at the side for crisps horrible KP crisps full of salt

She practically threw them at you lol

BEHIND the bar, Keith! (And very welcome, too......)

[keith lockey]

Merc', when you say women...are you on about the female kind or the kind that Foxy meets down the Pink Triangle on Friday nights. (Just what I've heard Foxy!!!) 

[mercuryg]

Foxy by name.......

[John Fox (foxy)]

 Friday night at the Toon Keith, Take your pick!!

 

[keith lockey]
