    Have a look at the Christmas forum it's scarcely believable.

    I'm putting very serious thought into how I can avoid shopping anywhere that does this s.hit. I'm going go back to the fruit and veg shop, the butchers etc. I've just about had enough of having one thing or another shoved in my face by supermarket 'giants'.

    There are plenty. We all just get roped into places like Tesco for the convenience of finding everything in the same place. I've places in mind already, and getting more determined the more I think of it.

    Yeah, the area we are in is a bit more rural. The town nearby has its franchises, but still a decent amount of family run businesses.

    Jesus died for our sins and we eat chocolate eggs. Religion makes so much sense.

    I seen swimwear/holiday clothes a couple of days ago,
    constant f£$king pressure,
    book your holiday ,buy the clothes, valentines, Easter, back to school, Christmas again....
    Ill do all these things anyway, don't need the constant reminders months in advance of what's next.

    Honestly, it's a form of mind control. Well they can fcuk off with their eggs now. I spoke to the OH on this and he's in full agreement. There are butchers and fruit and veg places near by, a couple of hardware's and general stores like Arkrwrghts place. That's who will be getting our money!
