    And spar has selection boxes!

    Notice the rolls of wrapping paper starting to appear in tucked away corners of the high street shops too?

    I had a quick look at the dates this evening in Asda...Mr Kipling's Mince Pies had a best before date of 29 October...?!?!:eek:

    Well, I suppose they have to get them out of the way asap so that they can clear the space for the hot cross buns and easter eggs...!:rotfl:
