It is a week before the monthly pay cycle hits for a lot of people and they want people to start shopping when they do get paid.
With more nad more people getting paid monthly in this country they are trying to get a % of two pay packets before hollow'een.

Jesus I hate what Christmas has become.... If things don't change, I'm going to burn an effigy of Santa Claus each night in my front garden this Christmas! It will be a nice alternative to my neighbors 1000 lightbulb display - arseholes

Bah Humbug me arse!

Could not believe it when I saw it at first.

Penneys and BT in Limk are getting their Xmas stuff soon!
I remember the old xmas! when this would happen in December!
IT'S SO BAD NOW

With the title of this thread, it would appear that The Rig is slap happy?

aidan_dunne

I heard that Chris de Burgh pile of steaming horseshíte, 'A Spaceman Came Travelling', played over the speakers in my local Tesco....... last June! :eek: I can only assume it was played by mistake or something because surely they wouldn't have played it on purpose, right? If it actually was played on purpose, though, surely that's got to be a new record for "early-Christmas-itis", hasn't it? A shop deliberately playing a Christmas tune six whole bloody months before Christmas, that must be a new record..... and a new low, in my opinion! :mad:

I swear, when I become supreme ruler and ultimate overlord of this country (;) ), I'm going to ban even the slightest mention of Christmas before December 1st...... under punishment of catapult!

Terry

You should shop in my local supermarket. They play music that I like. None of that Nanny ****ing crap.

Oman

i remeber the days when christmas used to be great craic like the christmas there was a flood at the top of the road and you couldn't get in or out of the town or the chistmas when we had a load of ssnow and you couldn't get in or out of the town

faceman

i think Christmas should be like easter and change every year. That way it may not be as cold each year! yay!

Setun

We have had xmas stock in my old place of work for about 6 weeks now. I have no idea why. The funny thing is, it sold pretty decently. :eek:
