Old Miserable GIt - short Seasonal rant !

Brian Lacey · 11-17-2012, 04:51 AM

Today is Saturday 17th of NOVEMBER !!!! I repeat NOVEMBER.

I don't mind shops selling Christmas items of any sort at this time of year BUT I do object most strongly to having to listen to Christmas Music tapes playing endlessly as I do my ordinary shopping on any day in NOVEMBER

Christmas music is part of the Festive season of Christmas and it does not begin in NOVEMBER.

End of rant !!

Cheers
Brian

Bit behind the times up there - Harrods have been selling Xmas stuff since August!

mykp · 11-17-2012, 05:11 AM

I agree Brian, Whatever happened to the 12 days of christmas and all that.

Banstead Stig · 11-17-2012, 05:19 AM

Agree totally.

However, tapes Brian?! Think even Yorkshire shops will have moved on from there.

Christmas started before Halloween according to Sainsburys!

At least it stops the shops from selling Easter eggs........until January.

I have had my first Starbucks EggNog Latte of the year, so Christmas is allowed to start at any point from now in.

Last Friday wifey and I were up in Starbucks and ordered our 'usuals' only to realise when we sat down that the red cups are in, so we could have had our festive 'usuals'! Very disappointing...!

You mean they are not tapes ? Ah shucks that means even more techneoimologythingy to get use to.

I don't want Noddy Holder and Wizard until the 20th Dec at the earliest.

. . . . . and in the background you can still hear ****ing fireworks going off

Its the 17th ffs! Firework night was the 5th

I'm with Brian on this one. I'm totally sick of the rampant commercialisation of Christmas and very glad I don't have small children being bombarded with toy adverts for 3 months every year.
