" Having just noticed two houses near me sporting Christmas decoration already !!!! I’ve also just heard the news of which celebrities are being afforded the honour of switching on the Christmas lights in the regions city's….!. Steve Cram in Sunderland,,,,,,, and Joe McEldrry In Newcastle,,,, Now I’m no killjoy bah-humbug type, and I do understand we run a bit low on A listers up-around these parts ,,, but sheeeezzzzzzzz..... Oh mustn't grumble at least easter eggs will be in the shops soon !! "I love it when the christmas lights come on in the shops etc. It's when the christmas songs get repeated over n over till you want to stamp on cliff richards head that gets me! Not sure it's been worth standing in a crowd to watch a switch being flipped tho! | |||
" I love it when the christmas lights come on in the shops etc. It's when the christmas songs get repeated over n over till you want to stamp on cliff richards head that gets me! Not sure it's been worth standing in a crowd to watch a switch being flipped tho!" I’ve actually set myself a challenge this year to get through the whole festive period without having my senses abused by hearing more than the opening strains to George Michael’s “Last Christmas” …… | |||

"Soxy, Can't see what you've got to crumble about we've got chuffing rastamouse!!!!!" Rastamouse is ace 
Scratchy & Zoom too? or just Rastamouse? | |||
"Soxy, Can't see what you've got to crumble about we've got chuffing rastamouse!!!!!" Oh-My-Lord...... now that is bad.... I kinda feel a tiny bit better now !!! pmsl  | |||
One thing that I really don't understand though... My parents are now retired from being Salvation Army Officers! As we grew up we were taught that Christmas was spiritual and commercialisation was a bad thing..
Soooo... I went into the Salvation Army Charity shop and guess what? Yep! Christmas songs blaring out, decorations everywhere and some of the staff wearing Father Christmas outfits!
Oh, BTW.. Mrs R works for a major food wholesaler and as such, we have been eating Easter egg samples for weeks now!

"Hey Soxy.. So strange that you posted this today! I have just spent all morning on Northampton waiting for my car (Safety Recall) and have been bombarded with fooking Christmas songs!

"haha.. Easter eggs already,,,,, nice one….. Don't get me wrong here,,,, I genuinely do respect the good work the Sally-Bashers do, and the frontline troops are amazingly good kind people,,,, But quite a while back there was a case when someone high up in the organisation was found to have embezzled 7 million from their funds and yet the internal powers that be, decided not to investigate further and wrote it off instead of trying to recover the cash that was donated by the public….!. I find that rather sad and it must be hard to swallow for good people like your parents seeing their wonderful effort go to waste… | |||
"Soxy, Can't see what you've got to crumble about we've got chuffing rastamouse!!!!! Rastamouse is ace

I find that rather sad and it must be hard to swallow for good people like your parents seeing their wonderful effort go to waste… "No love lost here for the SA! As a sort of insider, we have seen some funny old things happen! Like the cash going missing? That is something they would feel the need to "forgive" rather than chastise. A SA officer tried to seduce my Brother in Law and we still don't know whether she was successful, no ones talking!! lol... But it nearly broke their family up and caused a lot of problems, but the dear old SA just moved her on and "forgave" her! Trouble is, they didn't tell the new Corps and she did the same again, so guess what? They just moved her again... She should have been demoted so she didn't have that opportunity Yes they do some good work, especially looking for "lost" people. But they also have their problems. Some Christian organisation that lets two nearly 90 year olds stand on street corners on a Saturday in all weathers, one with Dementia to collect money! Yes they wanted to, but who in their right minds allows that, while the younger members have no interest at all... And there's more! I should have prefixed this article with "Don't get me started"! lol | |||
