Agreed. It should be illegal to advertise or even mention Christmas until 1st December. FFS 24 days is plenty enough time to sort everything out.

Never mind, at least you have the Easter adverts to look forward to smile

Strangely, I think early advertising is one of the major complaints this time of the year and yet they never listen.

At least the f*ckers have stopped advertising Christmas tat in early September now. It is the end of October after all; and later than it has been previous. Id prefer if they waitied until December too, but theres no chance of that.....

That is what the wrapping service is for or you buy those overly stylish bags with a tag pre-attached for = at least another pint in the pub and no wraping when you get home.
