The girls in my local have been wearing "Ask me about Christmas bookings" badges since the middle of July. Considering it's a small chain pub in the middle of a sleepy village, when there are bigger pubs and better restaurants very close by - and the city centre is 30 minutes away by car - it seems a bit optimistic.

Why can't they just wait until 1st September, like most other retail establishments?

Bloke came into my work yesterday to ask if he could borrow a few traffic cones for a 'Santa Dash' in December! I very almost said to him 'Its fking August'!

We had Santa and a couple of elves turn up at the office yesterday, granted they did bring a free ice cream van with them as part of a Xmas party promotion for a Hotel in the town :-)
