So far, only the curry house that used to be called Pistachio Club is the only place that I can see that has got anything referring to Christmas up in its windows. There's a multi-coloured electric star and posters advertising Christmas deals. White Stuff has got some white, twinkly lights, but they've become synonymous with winter and dark nights and not particularly Christmas.

Anyone else noticed 'twirly' decos?

I like to keep Christmas special so have decided not to buy anything in any shop that puts up Christmas decorations before 1st December.

There are a few houses on Uplands and Barry Road with Christmas decorations already up :X


(Not ED-specific but the UK's leading pharmacy chain has had a 'Festive' sandwich* on offer since, oh, let's see, sometime around mid-September!)





* edited to say, there's more than one. And they don't look the least bit mouldy.

Over the weekend, my team were getting a new desk in the office and to fit it in, we were giving up a filing cupboard. The only thing in the cupboard was the Christmas tree which we took out, and thinking it was too early to put it up, put it to one side in multiple pieces.


Got in this morning to find the office movers had installed the new desk and PC... and built up the Christmas tree in a prime location in the office.

I remember as a small child, the excitement of my Dad putting up the Christmas

decorations a few days before Christmas.


Father Christmas riding down Rye Lane to set up his Sleigh in Jones and Higgings.

(Just 2 weeks before Christmas.)


It is sad that the Magic has gone. I think even for small children.

Well, this is all VERY strange


If I?m to believe some media sources Christmas is lucky to even exist at all with the full-frontal-politically-correct-gone-mad brigade


And yet if I?m to believe this thread it seems anyone can just deck the high st, the house or even themselves like some two-bit Christmas whore?


It?s as if these media sources were just?. shit stirring? Still, no shortage of takers for their particular shit. If only people were given the ?simple truth? then they wouldn?t feel so outraged the whole time ;-)



winterval, pah

I know! If you bought your tree this early it would be brown and crispy by Christmas day! I think we bought ours 2 weeks or even 10 days before the 25th last year and even then I think we peaked too soon and it was pretty well past it by the day itself!

I think the Team Prejudice UK cut off their noses to spite their faces.


Here in SG we have ten major festivals each year. Of these about half are Christmas-equivalent depending on your religion, entailing universal public holidays, weeks of anticipation, street festivals & decorations, family get togethers and gift giving.


Chinese New Year, Vesak Day, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali, Hari Raya Haji and of course Christmas are the biggest.


Instead of trying to hide each other's celebrations, everyone takes part.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
