Reacting to HILARIOUS UK Christmas Adverts

Just to put it into perspective... Roald Dahl was part of the British National Curriculum for Primary schools (as books to read to class and have available for free reading). I don't know if it still is, but his books will definitely still be in schools. So don't feel out of place, it's a very British thing.

Funfactlet: Roald Dahl was involved in creating in conjunction with a toymaker a better drain for draining excess fluids from craniums.

The thing I love about good adverts - they have the budget of a small movie for a couple of minutes material tops, which means there’s huge opportunity for creativity and also massive development within the technology of filmmaking. Remember the hula-hopping mouse advert? The 3D animation development used in that led to the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. How cool is that?

The big freeze of 1963/64 which lasted from December 19 to around early April, Leeda had snow on December 26th, and it stayed for 3 months.

We used to get snow in England, back when I was young, before your parents met. That doesn't quite look like an English village, though.

The houses look a little like that, but that wall with a roof on it and that church on the background hillside? Alpine, I think. Check out "Tuscany village street" and "Italian alpine church." The background doesn't have to be from the same place as the foreground.

As a child in Yorkshire in the years 1977-1986, snow wasn't unusual. I can remember red telephone boxes and post boxes being buried in snow. I remember it snowing for 2-3 days at a time, and then being so cold, the drifts took up to 6 weeks to melt. I can remember leaving the pub at around 1am on New Years Day 1996 to find heavy snow falling. It was quite magical. Since then, it has snowed maybe a couple of times each winter, and it's mostly gone within 24-48 hours. I hate global warming. At least snow and ice used to make winter interesting and often beautiful. Months of dull, grey, and wet weather are just miserable.
