Fitzroy Pointon Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hadn't seen it until this morning. A guy I know put it on Facebook as it's his daughter who is the wee redhead. He was rightly well proud of the wee one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) His accidental fireraising will still remain a problem after that lovely Christmas dinner. John Lewis' varied range of items and gifts have failed to offer a solution. Forcing him out the village may be an option. That said exile will probably be a mistake as years alone might just build up feelings of resentment and ultimately prove fatal (Smaug esque) .They should kill him on Boxing Day. Greater good and all that. Edited November 16, 2019 by Der Kaiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionG Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It’s actually quite a sad message and incorporates a mental health story, the dragon is just trying to be liked and get on with everyone, but no matter what he try’s it always goes wrong. This gets him down and he shuts himself away thinking he can’t do right for doing wrong, until his friend the wee girl helps him get over it by giving him a purpose, and highlights the positives of what he can do, when he receives this he then shows others and he is welcomed back into the fold. Every other advert has been about someone receiving a material object to bring them happiness, this one is about someone believing in you and giving you a purpose to get out your house and live your life.

Meant to add that you are actually wrong too. Previous ads have also had a 'message' or a story to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
