the one where the boy is pretending he's riding a chariot across the beach with his cape flying behind him? Is it just me, or does he look absolutely FREEZING?! And the woman I assumed is supposed to be his mum is the same, faking the enjoyment. Sitting there with a T-shirt on when it was clearly filmed at a time when the weather was much colder than the heatwave we had in the first half of lockdown. Their skin tones just look pale, grey and shivery like they're tensed up from waiting round in the cold to film.
Don't really know why I'm commenting on it but it's just that I keep seeing it and find it baffling as it doesn't entice me to consider Haven at all. The opposite really. It just seems to be an advert for an English beach, and even then they aren't showing the good side of that - why haven't they shown them wrapped up with hoodies and wellies on rock pooling or something. I've been on English holidays as a kid and in the summer have often experienced cold weather and not the sunny 20 plus degrees that you hope for, but you just dress accordingly and do different activities, not running along the sand in your swimming stuff in 15 degrees. The breeze on a beach can be bloody freezing, even when it's 23 degrees so I'm not buying at all that the parents are sitting there having a pleasant time.
Doesn't tell you ANYTHING at all about what a Haven holiday is like, and now more than anytime they should be telling potential customers what they can offer at the moment.
Not sure why I'm posting really but I just was curious if it's just me who looks at it, goes "Brrrr.....not for me, thanks!"
