For spotting the first ridiculously early advertising for "that time of the year" in the wild?

Saw decorations in a shop yesterday.  Won't be long before they leave the stuff out all year round.

Our local 'The Works' had decorations for sale two weeks ago...

A local garden centre advertised their celebratory decorations area was open at least 2 weeks ago!

Went into the garden centre for garden products yesterday and the staff said yes they were putting up the seasonal tat before I said owt. And they are late compared with the local eateries saying book now.

So that's why they always drop their needles by 'that time we can't mention yet' if they're cut that early!!

In Bedgebury Pinetum and Forest, they 'thin' plantations of 'Yo ho ho' trees, every year, and flog them to unwary customers. They're actually quite good, but if you hang around in the car park, you get stung for several more folding pictures of The Duke of Wellington, so be quick about it, come December...

PS - we still have some festive cheese footballs left over from last year..:0~

Somehow 'Jersey' and 'Woolies' seem to knit together...
