November 4, 20214 yr All they say to me is "We are playing with your deepest emotions so you'll buy more shit from us. You lost a loved one? BUY MORE SHIT FROM US. Your kid is upset about their absent father? BUY MORE SHIT FROM US". If ever there was a time the phrase "virtue-signalling" was true, Christmas adverts are it.
November 4, 20214 yr Strangely, John Lewis ads have never grabbed me enough to buy from them. Emotionally grabbed? Yes. Commercially grabbed? Never.

For every person like you and me, there'll be 10 more buying a stuffed fucking carrot or snowman, or whatever this years "character" is because their kids have seen the advert.

Ive never bought anything from John Lewis. It’s all branded stuff sold at full RRP. Nice to walk around but surely everyone just goes on Amazon afterwards and pays 30% less?

November 4, 20214 yr Just now, Cheese said: They don't spend millions on a Christmas advert every year for nothing. I assumed posh folk shopped there, and they make such massive margins that they can manage without the likes of me buying a full price copy of Tatler and a Denby serving platter.

The only reason I even enter John Lewis’ is because I usually drive past J10 of M60 and come off at J9 instead. Wife occasionally buys something in their sale.
November 4, 20214 yr We buy the majority of our electrical goods from there because of the warranty/guarantee they offer. Edited November 4, 20214 yr by royal white

November 4, 20214 yr Bought a Delonghi coffee machine in Edinburgh and had a dining table delivered last night both from John Lewis. My wife assures me they were both a bargain. She will spend a week looking for the best price for a bag of muesli, so I’ve no issue with the price and great service.

Yes because it was for home insurance and if you rang your insurers claims department and said "my sons intentionally trashed the house and I just sat there and let him" they'd laugh at you

I filled up watching all three of those ads. Lovely stuff. I don't think I've ever bought anything in John Lewis though.
