    Xmas arrives early at a certain multiple...

    The cheap, plastic, sorry excuses for xmas presents are coming in fast at L***ds (have a guess). Makes me feel even more embarassed when people don't buy them because they're too expensive...

    Glad I'm not the only one who cringes when this stuff arrives.
    I've predicted a lean christmas where people limit themselves to small tasteful gifts.

    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    Tasteful? - Oh, you must mean plastic Stilton.

    If you have to sell christmas stuff - don't sell electrical goods.
    Everyone (it seems) brings them back after christmas.

    Have a look when you can. The electrical products are a joke and the plastic toys fall apart easily.

    Good description there Mandy....Tat it most certainly is.....and it's amazing how much there is of it.

    And we all feel the same. I understand the retail situation when it comes to Xmas but it's really irritating for staff. I thought the Easter Tat was bad but this years' Xmas Tat has sunk to new depths.
