The 'never knowingly undersold' message should mean that you've no need to go to Argos because John Lewis will match their prices. For me, well conceptualised, well made, well targetted. If you don't like it then the ad is not aimed you. Your closing line shows you are so bothered by the concept of the ad you missed the message!

It is an advert for God's sake. Nothing else, take it or leave it, we take it!

The discussion, I mean, not the advert. My main problem with it is that it's just so cliched and boring. There's nothing challenging, nothing unexpected. As someone said on Twitter, it could have been made in 1940 and the woman's life wouldn't have been all that different. (Although I did notice on second viewing, that she seems to be working on a laptop at one point.) Also, yes, the reminder that my entire life will pass by in the blink of an eye (or the blink of a Billy Joel cover version) doesn't make me want to go and buy a sofa, no. It’s interesting, isn’t it?

Noice return to the bloggosphere, Miss Fi!
