John Lewis Advert

Sorry if this has been done.

Does anyone know when they are planning on releasing other than 'early November'?

It was the first of November last year!

Anyone got any idea on what it might be?

someone shared The Snow Globe on my facebook, as the leaked John Lewis Ad.
underwhelmed but when i went to look just now I dont have permission.

Kirriemuir · 05/11/2016 07:56

The snow globe one isn't it. It is someone's course work for a levels!

LineyReborn · 05/11/2016 11:01

SilkThreads you should write to the head office of John Lewis about that. That's just disgusting - and pretty similar to to my experience.

usual spot on.

OpheIiaBaIIs · 05/11/2016 13:56

10 November. And it'll be a Bowie song.

gunting · 05/11/2016 13:59

Noah the snow globe is just someone's A level project

Redglitter · 05/11/2016 14:02

I think the JL ads are incredibly overrated and all the tears supposedly shed over them??? Really??? Confused

LazySusan11 · 05/11/2016 18:29

I await the yearly 'oh it was beautiful I sobbed' really? Here's a grip.

JL adverts = bilge

smellylittleorange · 05/11/2016 20:30

apparently it involves a carrot according to The Metro...Monday will be the day

smellylittleorange · 05/11/2016 20:35

sorry...that may be Aldi #kevinthecarrot

Mrmeddle44 · 05/11/2016 20:41

Dsis' dh works for JL.....

She's tried everything and he will not tell her ! She's furious !

NoahVale · 06/11/2016 08:40

am glad the supposed leaked ad was Not the JL ad, it was very meh.
I love the John Lewis ads. They are usually terrific. and a Bowie song is a fitting accolade. and yes, they do make me cry

NoahVale · 07/11/2016 13:12

oh, I take back my words. for an A level student of course it wasnt Meh at all Blush

mouldycheesefan · 07/11/2016 13:18

Releasing a Christmas ad that was actually somebody's a level coursework would have been a genius move.
Expect all retailers to do this next year.

FreddoBaggyMac · 07/11/2016 13:28

We have a teaser trailer: #bouncebounce It has a dog!!! I think it looks like it's going to be good - but I am one of those who generally love the JL adverts...

LaundryQueenHatesIroning · 08/11/2016 15:37

Did anyone else hear the song has been confirmed as Randy Crawford's One Day I'll Fly Away? Hear it on the radio a few days ago but nothing since. Beginning to think I might have imagined it!

LaundryQueenHatesIroning · 08/11/2016 15:38

*heard it on the radio!

And I meant they said that's what it was, not they just played the song Confused

Apparently that's right.....

Salobrena · 08/11/2016 15:47

I heard that on the radio too Laundry. I am sure they said the ad featured a space hopper, but I may have misheard due to DS making a racket in the back of the car.

LazySusan11 · 08/11/2016 16:51

Ooh apparently Sainsbury's are having a David Bowie song. Seems the Sains one beat the JL advert last year! Good!

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 08/11/2016 17:03

Was it Sainsburys who had the advert of the two opposing sides in the War sharing a bar of chocolate?

If so, I thought that ad was mawkish and horrible tbh.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 08/11/2016 21:00

They had Mog didn't they? I think the soldiers was the year before.

LaundryQueenHatesIroning · 08/11/2016 21:15

I didn't like the sainsbury mog advert Sad I thought it was boring, unoriginal and went on too long.

I have high hopes for this year's JL ad after last year's disappointment. I liked the penguin Real Love one year before last best I think.

What was every ones favourite so far?

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 09/11/2016 10:16

I love The Long Wait... it makes me cry every time!

Oldraver · 09/11/2016 13:36

I'm not bothered by the JL ad...the Aldi one is fab

TheHemsleysAteMyHamster · 09/11/2016 14:36

I ordered a toddler bed duvet. they messed up with stock so badly and 4 weeks later still nothing. they offered me a king size to make up for it. just let that logic percolate a while.

ARGH.
