FOR A BRIEF few moments yesterday, the John Lewis Christmas ad provided a slight distraction from all the bad news of 2016.

If you haven’t seen it yet, go and have a gander.

But Waterford man Rob Grimes watched it and imagined what would happen if it was set in his own back garden.

So he created an Irish version, which is much more realistic

“What the… f**k”

It definitely has that feelgood factor every retail Christmas ad in 2016 needs.

Dunnes, sign him up for next year.
