Yes, it's been on you tube (though a slightly different version - before cropping I guess?) for a little while & was the subject of a mumsnet thread. I watched it a few times about a week ago or longer and now I have the song constantly going round in my head. Yes it made me quite teary too Molly. I cry so easily since having kids - it's quite annoying sometimes.


Luuuuurverly ad' though.

Darn it! Hate to be manipulated by dastardly advertising types but gotta hand it to 'em - it's beautifully done and they clearly know their target market coz I was welling up by the time we got to the birthday cake. Mind you, tears come to my eyes every time the stars turn into blossom on I.T.N.G. Definately gravidity related in my case - pre-baby I sat dry eyed through Schindler's List, It's a Wonderful Life, Dumbo - you name it. Thank god it wasn't an ad. for Tesco - how bad would we feel then?


Oh - I think it wears off tho. Polled my own mum about this ad. and she replied "yes I've seen it, makes me puke". That's lovely, grandma.

Ha, Claire, that is very funny re your Mum - my Mum was visiting earlier this week and I showed it to her and she welled up (at the grand age of 81) just like I did....I guess maybe you have a better chance than me of it wearing off by the sound of it.


Whichever ad agency they are using, they are doing a good job for them I reckon.

I actually watched a whole documentary about John Lewis at Christmas time (I'll watch anything), which included them showing the creative process they went through with the ad agency to get the Xmas ad right. It was a small agency. I wish I could remember the name. Their (John Lewis') branding guy seemed very very good. We are good little consumers aren't we!!!

I like this advert too. As a matter of fact I was in John Lewis in Bluewater this week and they were playing it on the televisions for sale! It is very similar to an advert that aired in America three years ago for Mother's Day - basically the same premise so not sure if it is the same agency or someone really liked the idea!

Love this ad. There was an article about it in the Guardian last week:

And re sobbing at everything, I found myself watching an episode of Airline last night (don't judge me) and sobbed my eyes out when a mum had to tell her 2 year-old son that they probably wouldn't be going on an aeroplane later on.

Cheers, Molly. Believe me you wouldn't be laughing if she was your Mum! (Joking, she's ace). 'Cause in the olden days John Lewis had a policy of no advertising and they also used to have a fantastic haberdashery department - I guess you have to move with the times. It's still a good place to pop in if you need the loo in the West End.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
