    Does this mean that meteor are going to start doing those stupid 'It's November' ads again. I was never so glad to see the 1st of December before in my life.

    How could you like any of their ads? They are easily the most irritating thing to have been ever created in the history of the world ever.

    Yup, I heard something on the radio earlier on today advertising Christmas stuff.

    If there's one jingle I hate it's the Tesco one. Perhaps that's due to having worked there in the past. Still, it's incredibly annoying.

    Just 2 minutes from my front door is a shop called 'hartes'.....

    It's known locally as the Christmas shop & sells xmas decorations all year round - you get some good bargains in June/July!
    But the carols are playing out, lights flashing, dancing snowmen - madness!

    The one thing I don't like about the shop is the blackboard by the door for the Xmas countdown..... quite disconcerting when you pop in for a nosey & you see 'ONLY 351 days to Christmas!' :eek:

    That must ruin the whole christmas feeling for you, I would hate to have a clock reminding you that far ahead of christmas

    Same as. I don't even remember if I hated it before I worked there.

    @mcR: Yes the coke christmas ads are brilliant. Does anyone else think that all the new coke ads are rubbish and that the old ones were great? Maybe I'm just getting old.
