I saw a pr*ck driver of an Audi SUV who was speeding through a supermarket car park today who suddenly had to slam on the breaks because a woman came around the corner with a trolley. There is a reason why car parks have very low speed limits. The worst was the look of annoyance on his face as if she was inconveniencing him.

Yet the same media report "Forever 18" when someone crashes a car and kills themselves, and others.

People who put up their Christmas decorations mid November. There's a number of houses around the corner who have them up for at least a week. One of them has a massive in your face Christmas tree in their front window, another couple of houses have outside Christmas lights up.

Thankfully nobody on our road has done anything yet. We're more sensible than that. 😁

2 weeks before Christmas is the time to put them up, and then 2 weeks after Christmas to take them down, imo.

Would the people who put up their decorations in mid November, then by that logic, take them down in February? Probably not. I hope not.

It is the rise of artificial trees that have made it possible.

Back when it was all real Christmas trees, anyone who put one up now would be left with a dried brown husk by Christmas day and a floor covered in pine needles.

I don't think id blame artificial trees for it.

Id blame the fact that the world is full of narcissists who think the world revolves around them and everyone is really impressed by everything they do.

For me, if you put your Xmas tree up on November 1st, like some I have seen, you're just a kant.
