Cinnamon Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 They have a real knack of getting these adverts just so right. I love this...I adore penguins & the song by Tom Odell is gorgeous. I have already ordered my Monty & Mable scarf from the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It made me all blurry eyed........ Me too. I keep telling myself its all advertising schmaltz, and to stop it, but its not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Arrrr, that is so lovely....already planning a trip to JL, I am sucked in by it all....their customer service is so fabulous, I so appreciate being treated as a customer properly. Also, I have been threatening to evict my chickens and replacing them with penguins since we watched "The Zoo" on BBC1 where we all (except OH!) fell in love with the penguins...they were so adorable! Have been thinking of the mega sized eggs we would get Could construct a pond in the garden, not sure if it is cold enough here though?!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Loved it . Made me sniffle even watching it the second time! Just as well all adverts aren't as good as that or we'd all be watching a lot more telly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The Boots Christmas Ad is a tear jerker too.I got a little lump in my throat watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Not so impressed with the M&S ad this year (no hardly dressed David Gandy!), but the Waitrose one is a cracker too. I wonder why JL always use cute little boys in their ads, rather than little girls? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQh8uZ8pSo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The M&S advert is really poor, so much so I feel alienated by it so will shop elsewhere that doesn't use typical stick thin young lasses as models ... bad move Marks. Wow check out the price of the penguin toy, £95 eek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 That's for a giant one.......normal sized ones are £12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've just watched the M&S one, and quite liked it. Not as good as the JL and a Waitrose ones, but they a&e a lot to live up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think John Lewis should be done under the trade descriptions act I have been to Philip Island near Melbourne.... Here the penguins come back to the shore every evening. However, and trust me fellow Omleteers, I don't make this statement lightly, the penguins ARE NOT interested in romance. They are only interested in a quick and noisy bit of "how's ya father" I didn't know where to look but you could hear what was going on. So, John Lewis, choose your subjects carefully..... And I'd advise against bunnies of you want an Easter ad campaign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
