Can I suggest that if this site is having a series of short term topics,

that we have a Christmas one, starting in August when the World Cup and BB is well over, Thank you.

(what's that? Ridiculous suggestion? But there is a BB category, I think the ridiculous benchmark has well been reached)

Hi again Dot - thinking on - if we are granted a Christmas thread in Oct/Nov-Dec, it will give people a chance to order presents from recommended stores or websites!

Hi BOO, glad you liked the gift website idea. It's always a bit of a pain each year, wondering where to get the best bargain - Christmas can end up very expensive, 'specially for those with teenage children or grandchildren!

I can smell the snow already! ;o}
