Re: Changes on the High Street

Have you seen the crap John Lewis sale? "More of what you want" is the slogan; More of what you don't want is the reality.

On the Perspectives panel, they're assessing what people think about new slogans (to replace "Never knowingly undersold", which is the only one that matters. John Lewis is going all socially aware with their slogans.

The hypocrisy in this is sickening. They're only interested in profit - something I can at least respect. But you mustn't do that with a whole load of social guff that has nothing to do with the TV size or laptop reliability etc.
Look at this guff from https://www.johnlewispartnership.co....al-impact.html

Our Founder established the Partnership to be a force for good in society. We are driven to make a difference to people’s lives and create positive social change. We strive for beneficial impact, using the skills and resources within the Partnership to support where help is needed.
It's one thing using some of the income from our pockets to spread some dosh to local charities (later in the quoted article), it's another to pretend that they are selling us stuff for social reasons.
