Christmas hype starts . I am actually thinking of doing my Christmas shopping in October so I can avoid the crowds and also buy stuff at reasonable prices
when i worked in a supermarket, i had the boxing day shift and they sold cheap turkeys, and people were actually buying them ready for next year. That's one way to beat the crowds and prices

how did you know they were buying them for next year did they announce to you , I the customer of this shop shall buy this turkey to eat on the day of our lord Jesus Christ birth next year
The turkeys could well have been for New Year if people were having family round then, or saved for Easter. I'm not sure frozen turkey would keep for a year? Even if it does thats a lot of freezer space to lose for so long.
As for Crimbo coming earlier and earlier - it does seem to be, but then again I'm probably becoming grumpier and grumpier so resent it more and more each year!

Oh God! Year old frozen turkey. I mean, I like turkey but it can be a bit bland .. sticking it in the freezer for a year is not going to help. We're supposed to be celebrating and spoiling ourselves a little .. why don't we go the whole hog and just have fish fingers?
I hate all this throwing Christmas at us early. You can spread the cost anyway because most of what we buy at Christmas is available all year (most presents and a lot of food.) It just makes people anxious and also rushes you through life. If it wasn't necessary in the old days (1999 ) why is it necessary now? I don't want to see tinsel until November.

because they drill into you that you MUST make conversation with each customer. They send a mystery buyer once a month and if he comes to your till and you haven't engaged in conversation then you can be sacked. I don't remember everything we talked about but anyway, this was what a woman and her friend told me. I didn't just assume people only eat turkey once a year

Im surprised theres turkeys left for the boxing day sales in supermarkets / How the hell do they keep them for the next year though?
Now that I no longer work in retail (Worked in Sainsburys from 2005 - Jan 2014) - I DON'T CARE!!! :D:D:D
It comes out in September every year, it's not just about shoving it down peoples throats, it's also to benefit people who cant afford to buy it all in December so they can split the cost over a few months.

Now that would be silly
Whys that then?:p
I love Christmas.
Clintons had Christmas cards in from last month.
Stuff coming in early is a good thing, especially these days when money is tight for most people.
Every little helps or so they say.
i had turkey yesterday

Freeze them I'd imagine. Though you'd need a pretty big freezer and it wont taste as good having been frozen for a year.
This has kept me chuckling for hours
Why of course, don't you watch Dispatches?
its more surpise how its getting earlier and eariler each year
soon it will be christmas, new year, valentines then christmas shortly afterwards
It's really not though. This happens every September.
theres like 45 weeks between Valentines and Christmas
You mean you got it for you more like!
Yes and it's bloody annoying too. I now hate most popular Christmas songs because of it. Argh! >:(
Christmas didn't exist in dinosaur times so this issue wouldn't have even come up!
