Here We Go Again.

[teacake44]

The Christmas crap is creeping in the shops, a few more thousand tons of rubbish to get rid of in January. Its coming by the boat load from China.

[Bazile]

List some for me so i can avoid wasting my hard earned , folding

I know, I went round my local Home Bargains earlier this week and you couldn't move for Christmas stuff. Way too early imo.

[Arksided]

I think that after Guy Falkes/Bonfire night is too early but to be expected, as for starting now is ridiculous. Are Easter eggs on the shelves yet... I'll give it a couple more days.

Just come back from Tesco - loads of Christmas sweets, chocolates etc, out.

[CrapAtCryptics]

When I worked at Woolies the Christmas stuff went out as the Easter stuff went away.

[teacake44]

The pallet loads of Quality street blocking the door ways at Tesco. I'm sure its a race to see who can get them out first.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m a Christmassy person, love it but even I think it’s way too soon for the stuff appearing

[Buenchico]

Keep up, Teacake44!

You're a month behind me and TWO months behind Selfridge's ;-)

I think its got to a point were they are spoiling Christmas for kids. They've not been back at school 5 mins, today I saw to young school kids looking totally bewildered looking at Christmas gifts, asking when it was.

18.11, its just crazy!!

They're not daft, these retailers. They know fine well that if you buy a tub of chocolates today you'll have to buy them again because you'll have eaten them.
Two weeks ago I saw mince pies for sale in M&S. The best before date was in October.

[Georgiesmum]

Mince pies were on sale in our local Tescos two weeks ago here also. I noticed them because they were on special offer, 89p for six!!

[Buenchico]

Oi! Stop going on about mince pies, you lot!

I love them but I'm not allowed them until the consultant takes me off this low potassium diet :(

Boo hoo!

[hc4361]

Mince pies and fig rolls are my favourite but diabetes put a stop to them a few years ago, Bueno.

That Xmas music is torture.
