Why do people have to moan year after year about Christmas adverts in November, Or Christmas decorations up in November. Surely people realise that's how it works these days and instead of moaning like fuck just get on with it instead?

Totally agree mate, I've found that people moan about it earlier and earlier every year too. What next? Moaning about Christmas adverts in October!?

Exactly, who really cares?

I don't even notice until someone starts moaning about it.

I'm 27 and I don't think I've ever spent so much as a penny with John Lewis. Maybe I'm not their target audience.

I am 51, and I haven't either.

I probably am a target customer too

I'm 52 and I've, or my missus has, spend loads in there. And I like the advert.

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
There's people making a good living from that level of data wrangling!

Anyway, from a professional perspective, they have played a blinder by tapping into the UK's current fetish for schmaltzy, overly sentimental gubbins and made what is essentially a reminder that John Lewis is also a place where you can spend money, into a Christmas Tradition that gets as much coverage as it does.

Dont get it here so I watch it on youtube every day just remind myself its nearly the anniversary of when Christ was born. Except it isn't.


Seriously though I dont see the issue. Adverts are annoying any time of the year. An advert in December is just as annoying as it is in July. Its as if some people want to only see Christmas ads from December 24th, like youd suddenly sit there and go 'ooo, what a nice ad and heart warming story'.

Also if you want to complain about ads being early, have a go at the people that do Christmas shopping early (women). Without those social miscreants, there would be no need for an early ad. Just a thought...

The new flagship John Lewis at home/Waitrose opened in Basingstoke today. Yay, no more travelling to the shithole that is Reading to get my wallet emptied.

How dare anyone suggest Women do Christmas shopping early and men leave it till the last minute.

Fucking asshole. Reported him now.

Smat's gone too far this time. So fucking out of fucking order. Oh my GOd.

i've reported him too for all the good it does.

this forum's disciplinary system needs an overhaul though. it needs to be responsive, fast and fair. it needs to be transparent too, when we click a button, we need to see a result, a mod needs to turn up and explain what has occurred. we need cause and effect. when elected mod, i will begin such a system, so miscreants like smat can't keep up their ad hominem slander of good posters

Not that i'd do it but how do you report abusive or racist posts? On 1FF the same culprits report people they don't like even when their posts don't cause offence.

Every post has a report button at the bottom, next to where it says when it was posted.
