[vickster]

Just premiered, a month early if you ask me! But rather lovely (Watership Down without the mixy)

Is it me or does Christmas advertising get earlier and earlier every year?!

This is true...my brother (for JL actually) and various friends work in retail - they are planning summer 2015 ranges

Yes but I believe shops and the Internet are open after the 15th December

I went to World of Coca Cola in Atlanta recently and got a hug from and my photo taken with an 8 ft polar bear....they had whole displays of the Christmas paraphernalia

What are these shops you speak of ? I thought Amazon was the new Harrods aka you can get anything and everything.

And jealous of your Coke exploits.

Do John Lewis ever get it wrong they seem to hit the spot ( and my purse ) every time?

 

[vickster]

It was actually rather better and less hokum than expected

I did however feel rather icky after tasting quite a lot of the 120 Coca Cola varieties from around the world...all of which were sugared apart from Diet Coke. There was something particularly foul from Djibouti which tasted like Covonia without the medicinal benefits

I liked the one TinyNewNewt posted above, but thought the new one was not that good - the song sounded like someone at the audition stages for X Factor that got sent home Haha

 

[vickster]

Well I do far prefer Keane's original rendition of the song but it's kind of nice (and there are no children in it )

Looks like M&S spent the last 5 years' profits on the services of Ms Bonham Carter for their Christmas ad

 

[vickster]

Agreed, it's awful...they do still make the best ready meals though

I'm more shocked that @vickster is clearly an avid X Factor watcher Or is all this just coincidence ?

 

[mark st1]

Jeez that's worse! Shopping at M&S - just like falling into the sewer down an open manhole.

Yes but it wouldn't be just any sewer.
