It's September! Sep, bloody , tember!
On Friday, we had our first Christmas shopper. Causing 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' to develop her November eye twitch, for a second. Gasps of disbelief echoed across the Hall of Plenty and we, were ignored all afternoon, because one of our customers had dared to say it!!!!
We go through weeks, of listening to people banging on about how Christmas gets earlier and earlier each year. When actually, it doesn't. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but it stays right there in December just after Halloween and Bonfire Night, where it always was.
Easter, on the other hand, roams all over the place.
But it is a ring of retail hell, you can never truly appreciate, until you have tried cramming your Christmas stock in any available orifice.
Now, we are doomed to watch the horizon, as 'She..' beats the drums of the slave ship faster. All because, one smug punter likes to tell the world, she has nothing better to do for the next 3 months.
