Depressing sight in ASDA

Post by John Upham » Thu Aug 23, 2012 12:11 am

Just got back from late night shopping in ASDA and found a Santa's Grotto in the entrance way being assembled. :roll:

Has it really come to this? :cry:

Were they also selling those Christmas pizzas ?

The ones that are "Deep Pan; Crisp and Even".

John, was that in the entrance way to your house?

'Festive Menu - bookings being taken' outside a local family restaurant. Depressing indeed.

And the chess season has not even started yet.

As a paying customer, you could always express your dissatisfaction in writing (e-mail or letter).

I find that comments lamenting about "how soon shops sell Christmas things" start earlier every year... ;)
