Not sure how good the sales can be this year when most shops already have massive reductions on stuff already.

At Christmas we can expect the same things every year, firstly the newspapers saying that retailers ae reporting their worst year ever. Secondly stories of parents 'devastated' because they couldn't get the one toy that little kylie wanted and now their entire lives are ruined, and lastly supermarket stories about stampedes in Tesco, or Sainsburys being completely out of sprouts (or whatever).

People spend more in supermarkets for Christms, therefore they are more crowded as people go more often and spend more time browsing. I can't see why we are surprised every year?

Maybe I should park up outside my local Asda with a van load of bread at closing time on Christmas eve and sell it for £3 a loaf :snow_laug

Cue for old joke :-

A man walks into a butcher's shop late on Christmas Eve and asks if they have any turkeys left . When the butcher says he has, the man replies "more fool you for ordering too many".

Blimey, forgot that one...

News at 10 - BONG, Cold snap in December, bookies slash odds of snow on Christmas Day (snowflakes then studiously avoid Met Office building for next few weeks).
