Re: Christmas Ads

I have always liked Elton John and I like this Christmas advert for John Lewis, a company I like as well. I also like the music/song - always have.

As Meg and Julie say it is intended to make you think a bit about how a Christmas present can set a child on a life, an absorbing and creative life, which they will feel passionate about and which will give/share something of themselves and bring pleasure to others.

I see what you, Julie and Meg are saying. I suppose it didn't work in my case, I didn't see the connection.

I also love the song.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Sir Elton received £5 million for his appearance.

Re: Christmas Ads

When I first saw it I thought it was a trailer for the Elton John film Rocketman which is coming out next year!

Re: Christmas Ads

Are they saying that they have inspirational items for sale at John Lewis?
What are they and since when did they sell pianos?

Re: Christmas Ads

I don't know if anyone is aware but Elton John gave some £27 million to charities last year. Not bad going I would say. I also believe he will be retiring next year.

How very odd, I hadn’t seen the full ad until tonight. I was speaking to my daughter earlier today about the laptops I purchased for my grandkids and she was a bit aghast at what I had paid, and I said to her that they were more than just the usual presents this year. I am hoping that for my granddaughter at least the macbook will help her achieve something life changing.
