enough of all of my anger issues..... I aim to blog about all of my "irritations" tomorrow (well it's cheaper than going to therapy)
and then it's ALL out of my system
( see what you have started Nigel?)
In the meantime I will post this year's best tv Christmas advert
and of course it is from John Lewis
it's sweet and rather nicely done
enjoy x
I have just watched it again and am getting angry!
ReplyDeleteit must have coast an effin fortune!
cost! cost cost NOT coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deletearhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Haha, by the time you have seen it 10 times you will be furious with it - like me!
ReplyDeleteMy bereaved niece exhorted me to watch this, saying her mum would have loved it. John Lewis are NOT my favourite partnership right now, and I think it is shite, but not for that reason. Sorry.

DeleteI love john Lewis... only because Cole Brothers ( which was store in sheffield) was taken over and kept alive in it's old form by John Lewis
it used to be a tradition in sheffield to do a "quality shop" at coles!
I refuse to get even more angry today!
Awww, it so reminds me of my desire to be in my homeland at Christmastime :(
ReplyDeleteSweet....

I've just been having a 'debate' with my daughter about the soundtrack of this advert. It got so heated that in a scarily realistic impression of my mother I suddenly heard myself roaring at her 'Frankie goes to Hollywood's version is FAR superior to that insipid pap, I should know, I was THERE'. Thing is, I never really liked FGH back in the 80's - clever folks those advertising bods playing on the nostalgia of a certain generation!
ReplyDeletei MUST DISAGREE... i quite liked the insipid pap!
ReplyDeleteI think this advert is awful but I don't care. I like John Lewis (and its supermarket Waitrose). It is a good quality British firm with admirable marketing values especially compared with Tesco or Sainsburys. And akin to M&S.( But not like ASDA which is now owned by the appalling USA Walmart corp.)
ReplyDeleteBut FFS the Christmas advert is just that. An advert. Take it or leave it. Nice warm feelings for the brand in general might encourage you to shop there if you have a local branch. They do have some very nice stuff. And it's half the price of that in supermarkets in Australia for instance.
Or go to Aldi. Their ads are very funny. Your choice. Why are we getting stressed about retailers adverts? I'm ashamed to even be commenting on this. But I am sickly poorly and feeling sorry for myself today.
I agree
Deletealdi adverts are a cracking and clever watch
different and opposite ends of the shopping experience for sure
John, this was supposed to cheer you up. ;o)
ReplyDeleteHave a better weekend, John! ♥
Always glad to read your blog!

Stupid snowman didn't notice the bit about online and mobile purchases. Should have whipped out his iPhone and saved himself the trip. Moron.
ReplyDeleteWonder where he keeps his wallet?
ReplyDeleteOne and an 'arf million smackers!
ReplyDeleteif I send you my list of irks, will you do them too?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it ! Who sings that ? It's gorgeous. Gloriously sentimental like all the good old Christmas films.
ReplyDeleteI bought a hat in John Lewis this week - a hat for a wedding and it's lovely.
Christmas adverts should be all sentimental and 'white chrstmassy'...fortunately we hardly get to see any, so I shalln't get too frothed up about it...
ReplyDeletewhat happened to 'face value"?
