    Hate using it on my phone, I cant get emojis to come up as anything other than weird characters & squiggles :D

    Any my typing (which is bad enough on a keyboard) is atrocious on a phone keypad.

    Tough one as I love both, but I'll go with Sky Cinema.
    Though I suspect it'll be well beaten... the JL one is the first of their good run of adverts,

    Tough matchup, I love both ads, Barry's Tea is a sentimental one and Tesco 2018 I love the fact we all do our own Christmas in different ways.

    Was never a fan of that Barry's radio advert. I know others love it but it's just too dragged out and is almost sleep inducing.
