Sales Everywhere I looked

I took a nice stroll up the high street and the sale signs were all over the place. Sign of the times when the sales start before christmas.

    You obviously haven't been reading the "Quick! Grabbit While You Can" board... It's been really busy for months with the number of sales/special offers on everywhere.

    It's a great time if you're in a secure job and have disposable income to spend.

    A nice suit for christmas day (20% off) and a reindeer costume for the dog. grand kids love that sort of thing although the dog looks as though he hates it.

    Pre credit crunch the vast majoirty of sales were on after Christmas. maybe thats why they were called the January Sales. I've looked at your posts today and they do seem to be written by a 5 year old who has eaten too many sugary sweets.

    I'm glad you have looked at all my posts today - I haven't looked at any of yours, just this rubbish one.

    When was the last time DFS had a Sale - was it last January? You'll have to remind me.
