yes how lovely for them but who specifically was complaining, who specifically is this article addressed to?

"Because, yes, critics of this advert expect us to integrate, but not too much"

Well written link Vicky. I agree with all of it. Muslims are darned if they do and darned if they don't.

Tbf, the youtube comment section under that video is shocking. There does seem to be a fair few thousand that dislike the concept of an ad like this. Which is just ridiculous.

Judging by the article you would think there were no positive comments, shame the article focuses completely on negative tweets, it's a bit woe is me with no balance

i am pretty sure that You tube comments is not the answer or justification for any question

I was looking at a camera today and people were effing and jeffing and being racist and sexist about the asian woman in the video

If you look at the comments on Daily Mail write up on this, one of the first one says, "As soon as I saw this advert, I said I would never shop at Tesco again even though it's my nearest supermarket". That comment received 1381 likes. Another one commented, "The advert is a fantasy, and in these times, it's in very bad taste." which received 1104 likes and although there's a good amount of positive comments, there are a good few who claim they won't be shopping at Tescos again.

like i said about youtube comments if you are using them or DM comments as your justification for a viewpoint or argument then you are not really understanding the medium or what it is you are getting angry about

they are at best pantomime

But6 the crap NS article does not even try to give a source it just pretends it be angry at some unknown source

I also think that nobody gives a flying **** who celebrates Christmas and how. The annoyance is with Tesco for producing what is basically a cringe worthy advert, and they are not alone, they all seem to be at it.

But you don't treat Muslims how you want to be treated.

Loads of people do buy into advertising, sadly... They wouldn't still be spending so much on it if it wasn't profitable.

Only in Christian backwaters like England; in Scotland, 24h is 24h.

SO many times when I lived Darn Sarf (way down in... Lancashire ) I got caught out on Sundays like "I'll just pop to the shop" at 6pm and then remembering that everything shuts at 4 or 5 on a Sunday .

Meanwhile in Scotland, I'll be going shopping tonight when I finish work at half 10 .

[Toy Soldier]

They do shut the upstairs bit (clothes and electronics) at 10 though, but that's because of drunks and junkies shoplifting

Where we live in France they don't open at all on Sunday. During the week they open at 9am, close at 12:00 for lunch and open around 14:00 if they can be bothered and then they close for the night at 17:30

My wife did a year abroad in France with Uni and I went over for about 6 weeks... It wasn't just Sundays where she was! Everything (except bars) shut all weekend... There was actually a weekend that we forgot to get food in on the Friday and lived on crisps and chocolate out if the uni dorms vending machines .

If you can't get organised in the 6.5 days they are open we like to give the staff time with their families down South

this happens in Spain except in high season when they open Sunday mornings for the tourists

They'll be working the exact same number of hours, though . It's a religious throwback and you know it . Bet it's gone in a decade or so anyway
