John Lewis / M & S Ads

[Dowling93]

The Littlewoods advert is the worst this year so far, annoys me everytime i see it!

The very fact that you are talking about these ads means that they are doing their jobs.

What really gets me is that X Factor and Cowell have completely ruined Christmas No 1's.

Yes we had some cheesy awful ones at times but you always hoped for something good and occasionally it was. Even most of the poor ones gave you a laugh or were at least original in their content but all Cowell does is get the no-marks to churn out an old hit and all the morons buy it as though its original!

...and then they never have another hit and Cowell ditches them by June.

The most unrealistic, slushy, pile of .... Ive seen all year. Complete with old fave tune sung downtempo by female, again. Yawn.

Shall I put you down as undecided then?

For my money, John Lewis have absolutely smashed it out of the park this year. LOVE it.

The JL one is superb.

My wife ADORES it. My wife is the one who does our Christmas present buying. Ergo - job done.

Totally agree with you.

Just seen this on telly and was close to chucking laptop at screen.

I would hardly call a Smiths 'B'-side an old fave tune. A great tune perhaps.

In the summer Morrisey toured a number of towns. He requested that venues he played at took meat of their food menu. Being a strict vegetarian. He walked of stage at the Coachella festival because he smelt meat cooking.
Now he associates himself with John Lewis which serves meat in its cafes and is part of the Waitrose group- a supermarket selling meat and meat products!
Confussing eh

Is there not an advert featuring The Stranglers "Waltz In Black" on at the moment as well?

I've heard a couple of rumours that there are campaigns to beat x-factor to No. 1 again this year. Shakin Stevens and Nirvana (Not teaming up together.) I don't do facebook so can't confirm.

I think M&S have really lowered themselves this year with those X-Factor plastics.

Agree- but they do the best christmas food out there.

Very True!

It's rather sad that this the ultimate end product of the birth of Christ approx 2,000 years ago.

Probably the single most CRUCIAL item in the entire house, at this time of year more than ever.

I'd take the batteries out of the smoke alarm to keep this going if I had to.
