Do they know it’s Christmas – part 2

Oh no. Last year I blogged (moaned) about Christmas starting at the end of October.

Guess what – Selfridges are starting the countdown on 2nd August this year – 145 days before the actual holiday. I think even the BBC were bemused.

You have to be kidding right? I have checked my diary and it is not 1st April.

There should be a law against this. It is simply unacceptable. Most people will have only just gone on their summer holidays!

I thought the Birmingham Selfridges was great when I did go in April – I just wondered why they bothered taking the Christmas stuff down?

After my dose of hating Sainsbury’s last week, I am getting close to hating Selfridges too…

And if Starbucks even think about starting to play Noddy and his merry men – I won’t be held responsible for my actions. It is likely to be messy though.
