How are people still surprised / outraged by this? Happens every year.


The logic is pretty simple.


Some people like to budget and so, to spread the cost of Christmas, start stocking up week by week once autumn hits, taking advantage of any special offers as they go.


Supermarkets respond to this with an array of special offers, particularly on stuff like tins of chocolates, in the hope that whoever bought them in October will have eaten them by the time Christmas comes round, and they'll have to buy a second tin.


I'm going to the Liberty Christmas shop today.

El pibe, I often end up doing that, ironically with more close relatives and friends ie those for whom I spend ages looking and rejecting lots of things till after the event on the grounds that the present isnt nice enough. They end up with something ok but two years late!

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
