A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Your TV (62) has commenced a plethora of festive themed content, why ?

Because Christmas has started, at least according to Sainsburys.
Went shopping, tonight, freshly baked mince pies, along with Christmas biscuit assortments and tins of chocolates, all available in September!!!!!!

Did you ask for a BIG discount, given that it's a BIT early for Xmas stuff, and they have plenty of time to scam the last minute, and desperate, shoppers?:-rofl2

According to a bloke who works in our local Tesco the reason they start so early is because they have the stuff at full price for a month - then can have the discounts in place for November / December with the big 50% off previous price or whatever the discount on the tat is slapped on it....


BTW True Christmas was rebranded on the 24th Sept - Sky 319/20. The earliest its ever rebranded

@PaulR
So, go back and ask for/"demand" a 60-70% discount right now - "reminding" them of how much they can "scam" customers for in a couple of month's time:-rofl2

I can assure you that a garden centre is not my normal haunt. I was there on behalf of a friend to sort out a problem with his fish pool and thus far I have only made two visits. One to drop off a broken filter housing and the second time to pick up the repaired item. I have no plans for a further visit.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Easter starts early December, the disciples of Jesus must be somewhat annoyed that he gets crucified before leaving the manger.

A taste of what is to come in the next few week running up to this Christmas on our TV

LATEST CHRISTMAS TV NEWS 2018

The first line within the link.

One of the books given to my daughter earlier in the year (Worst Children 2 or something similar ) had the following claim on the front cover - David Walliams is the new Roald Dahl.

The content inside is puerile and not in the slightest bit funny, Trading Standards have been notified
