Yeah i think so. I remember the Argos catalogue as a kid, you had to go through what felt like MILLIONS of pages before you got to the toys at the back.

…as children we would go through catalogues and we would choose one thing from each page that Santa would bring…I mean, it wasn’t just toys, we would go through many categories and choose…every year we would do that really excitedly …and coveting all the shiny stuff…and then get our tangerine and nuts in the Christmas stocking but that was exciting as well…..

Oh those were the days

I remember going through the Littlewood's catalogue, it was amazing, you'd see all these cool things that were practically FREE, all you had to do was pay 60p a week (for 6000 years). That's how i got my PS2, and 2 games. However, they sent the games then said the Consoles were in high demand and they're waiting for another batch before they could send mine. I had to wait like 2 months for the console. I read the back covers and manuals of those games about 50 times over waiting for the console

YES, i remember that, oh man, i remember this catalogue collector bloke would come round to my aunts, and they'd be seeing what they could get together to give him (it usually pence too ). Doesn't seem that long ago, but it was practically a lifetime ago

John Lewis ad doesn't do much for me but I think it would resonate a lot with fathers of teenagers - they're getting old, kind of miss their partying days, would love to go back to it and don't always find it easy to connect to their teenage kids but they also realise that raising a child is the best thing they've ever done

Give me the bear and the hare any day though
