Christmas???!!!!

Post by BillyGoat »

WTF?

Had to drive to Reading today to meet a few people and listened to the radio on the way down, I can't believe that places are advertising for Christmas bookings already - it's barely half way into the year! :cussing:

If I go into a shop and it's playing Christmas music before December, I'll walk straight back out again.

Utter cr*p!!!!

The thing about Christmas is that if you leave it till the last minute you wont be able to book somewhere, also think of the poor shop staff, you can walk out if you do not like what you hear, they have to stay there and put up with it.
Merry Christmas

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

It's not that I don't like christmas, it's that I just think it's a bit TOO early just yet.....

Funny TB :D I'd shoot myself if I had to work in retail at Christmas! :D

I was in B&Q last weekend and they were selling off all the summer stocks, I jokingly said to the missus that they were clearing space for the Xmas stuff, and one of the assistance said "nah, that's not till the end of September"

I wasn't sure if he was joking or being serious. As far as I am concerned, Xmas should be banned until dec 1st.

I used to work in supermarket where very little helps....
1st of September was the start of Xmas stock arriving...ASDA was last week of August...
We used to throw xmas cakes out starting middle of october due to being out of date (who eats xmas cake in september/october).
In lidl today the back of the carrier bags had Lidls Xmas branding on it...not sure if early or someone opened the wrong boxes....or just the dregs of last years xmas stock...
