The John Lewis Christmas advert this year?

I like it but not sure it is as good as last year.

Shot in New Zealand in July. They shipped a phone box and pillar box over there so it looked like Britain.

Reported to have cost a few million to film.

Beautiful photography as usual. They have a good agency working for them.

:-D :-D :-D

Yes, was intrigued to read it was filmed in NZ. Apparently they found the old cottage that was built by a Scotsman, and helped the snow a bit.

Must be hard to live up to their adverts year after year

Good morning all, the more you see it, the more you see. So looks like they have another winner.

Morning Sue.

John Lewis is a corporation umbrella for quite a few stores. Big department stores.

It was set up as a co-operative by John Spedan Lewis, there are no board of directors as such. Everyone who works there is a Partner.

When bonus time comes around, everyone get the same percentage, and to show openess the bonus is printed in the newspapers.

Not a bad place to work it seems.

Original, and like last years, will be long remembered. Unlike Asda's sexist effort.
