It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Looking on the bright side, mince pies are available now (though you can get hot cross buns in our local Asda all year round)!

Shop bought never home made or nothing.

We have 2 year round Christmas shops near us. 10 minutes in there in August is enough to put you off.

That makes me think of the late 1960's when I went to a children's Christmas party in Accrington town hall on a Saturday afternoon, then another party about 3 hours later in a local working men's club. 'Santa' was short and fat in the town hall, yet tall and thin in the WMC !

My uncle used to do Santa at Sunday school Christmas party. My cousin recognised his father's boots which sort of spoiled things!

People don't need their bike fixing in the winter months?

Presumably too few people ride in the cold to make staying open economically viable. Trade drops off at bike shops as well after the Christmas rush.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs have started to appear in the shops.
