Coca Cola Christmas Lorry?

Has anyone heard along the grapevine heard or know if the Coca Cola Lorry will be coming back to N.Ireland, or Ireland in general this year?

I have looked at a few places but nothing for Ireland as a whole, either side of the border is mentioned :(

when I search for Belfast, the visit Belfast site keeps coming up telling me all about it............ but it's for last year :(

We brought the kids down to see it last year and they loved it, so was hoping to do it again, even if we had to travel a bit to see it.

    According to the Stephen Nolan show the Coca Cola lorry will not be visiting the Island of Ireland as it is not part of the UK...
    ‘Holidays Are Coming’ – but maybe not to Northern Ireland. Frustration as Coca Cola truck ‘Kindness Hotspots’ exclude us.

    Thanks, that's just typical. They only want us to make money out of us, and don't want to know any other time:mad:

    And they're claiming they're visiting the kindest places in Britain. None of which are further north than Carlisle. Oh dear.

    I think you'll find the Scottish places listed are north of Carlisle.

    This advert used to only appear on TV close to Christmas, now it's being broadcast in November - the magic is being lost.

    Maybe, just as many families do, they are finding the fares to sail across the sea to Ireland and/or Northern Ireland are just far too high (albeit in their case, forget that, I doubt if fare costs would be anywhere near an issue :rotfl: , although they can be for families).

    THE actual one or a delivery lorry from Lambeg with a few lights on it to appease us ?

    Don't suppose it'll get past the end of the world (Newtownabbey) anyway even if it does come :(

    Next delivery lorry seen in the City of Culture will be hijacked and set alight in the city center, all will gather round singing "Holidays are Coming" and throw tinsel into the flames :rotfl:
