hello again its only me your ever faithfull grumps.

as a change to trawling the papers heres one from the grumps himself.

has anyone seen the specsaver advertisement where edith piaf sings no regrets ?

if you havent it can be found on you tube.

the advert is funny but also a little distatefull and disrespectful to the memory of edith piaf.

and that a multinational company like specsavers could do ads on the cheap like this.
