PeterG Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yes, love the ad but it made me think which shops allow dogs in, these days, apart from guide dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackville Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 For some reason I thought that the place where the dog was unhappy was a vets. I have seen this many times. It seems to be a combination of the slippery floor and the smell of vets (like me and the smell of hospitals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 My dog puts in tail between his legs as soon as we park in or near the street where the vets are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 I thought they were in a bank. Can you take dogs into a bank ? France or England ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merliauds Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The French seem to have a much more tolerant attitude to dogs in shops, restaurants etc than I ever experienced in the UK. I was invited to take my dog into an art gallery after I left her outside - she enjoyed a very cultural experience! I've also seen small dogs in shopping trolleys in Intermarché on several occasions. Nobody took the least bit of notice. Don't know about banks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Re taking dogs into banks, I was in our small local branch of Credit Agricole a few weeks ago when an English lady (who has been living in France for years, is married to a Frenchman and of course speaks fluent French) came in with her dog on a lead. I spoke to her and patted her dog. Nobody else took any notice so probably best to just try it yourself (rather than ask first, as they may then say no!) and see what happens! I've certainly not seen any signs on the doors of banks indicating that dogs (guide dogs excepted) aren't allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 This ad made me feel uncomfortable, it didn't seem right to make the poor thing unhappy just to get the shots of it trembling, even for a short time.[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think it is a wonderful idea to put the best UK ads on the forum to share with those in France. Twinkle came home to Wales at christmas and adored the Cadbury gorilla advert, which had be broadcast for 6 months. I was sick of it by then but I think she loved it so much, she posted it on the forum to share.There is a really awful 'advert' out at the moment. I have tried to post it on the forum but cannot find it at the moment. It advertises army recruitment. It shows an Iraqi man in an army hospital with his identity hidden. He speaks his story as to why he has been hospitalised and, goes on to say how wonderful the British Army Medics are in treating him.Do people really fall for this kind of propaganda these days?

Jo Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My husband as part of his job, has had to travel to Iraq on numerous occasions. The work of the army medics is no propaganda whether it is used in an "advert" or not. All in need are treated without favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Katie Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I never implied that the armys medics would discriminate against anyone. I just think that it is a bit ironic that that although Saddam was a tyrant and much blood was spilled under his leadership, things are much worse since the invasion. I think the fact that this campaign is painting such a wonder picture of our medics, who are no doubt doing a wonderful job treating people, people who have been injured as a result of the invasion, is without doubt propaganda.
