    To be fair, they've done some really poor Christmas adverts in between some iconic top drawer ones. The man on the moon, the lily allen, that annoying dog and the trampoline. Probably about 30-50% hit rate (though never sure how much ever translates to sales).

    As for this.... creative, but extremely random, and essentially of no purpose. Which pretty much sums up their "rebrand" to include "and partners". You'd think they'd be saving money with the retail storm in full swing.

    Never understood the appeal of adverts like this. Adverts should be 30 seconds long, max.

    Brilliant short film... crap advert. However, I would never expect John Lewis and Waitrose discussed on here at any other time... so maybe not so crap advert?

    Given that I hate ads and I usually hate kids in ads even more.....
    that was brilliant.

    Waitrose? Didn’t realise we were on the breadline around here. Booths or nothing.

    We may be talking about it but is it making us buy ,myself personally No.If this is a Christmas Advert it’s crap it’s it not making me go into their stores to buy Christmas presents.

    Can see what you did there, DT - it's not "Bismillnah!", but you made it a football thread by bringing in James Milner's penalty track record :)
