Late start to Christmas?

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed a distinctly late start to proceedings this year? Lordship Lane shops and bars were noticably quieter on Friday /Saturday than they should have been, takings down, less people about than this time last year...our annual City work bash (for clients too) was 65% last years turnout...but... looking at our bar tab they actually drank MORE.


I saw an early outrider santa hat at lunch in the last week of November, but only this week have proceedings felt festive.

Have you been drinking?


I noticed the lane being very quiet when I was out recently. Liqourish on a saturday night was very quiet but I thought being the last weekend of november explained that.


Suspect there is a general low level of expectation this year. Could just be age though. Christmas is for young people.

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
