Default John Lewis Christmas Ad

To be at one with the diverse world we now find ourselves in, I have watched the John Lewis Christmas advertisement, and I think that's the last Noel for a white Christmas !

I see that you have taken diversity to heart. I come from Hounslow, not far from Heathrow, and pop down to see family a few times a year. Happy to pop in to yours for a cuppa, biscuits and a Balti the next time I am down so you can indulge in diversity first hand the next time I am down.

PS - I will take a CGI advert over Noel's White Christmas any day!

Always thought of diversity as being the useful ability to find the long way around an obstacle. There seems to be more obstacles than there used to be.

Only if you wish to complicate matters and create obstacles.

My approach is so simple that there are no obstacles....hate all equally.

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best!

Good morning Chris.

I think that people make too much of the need for diversity - often for their own political ends and to hide their prejudices. A few here do as evidenced by their posts IMO.

My advice was that if one keeps it simple, by hating everything and everyone, showing contempt for all, one can achieve a high level of personal contentment whilst also achieving diversity. A permanent state of happiness and satisfaction.

Hating others is a basic human instinct and right. So why not make the most of it by hating everything and everyone as opposed to doing so selectively and complaining about the need for diversity?

I hope this clarifies.

PS thank for getting the name right. Ravinder will be most pleased for not being confused with myself.
