Come on folks, time to get rid of 'Nu Labour' me thinks! Send them to the Tower! I can just see Gordon's head on a stake on Tower ( Read more... )
"As for Christmas, good old Bluewater has the decos up and ready to shine on the 8th. "
Blimey, that is a bit early !!! I take it that means the 8th October ?...
We, at Peter Jones have been installing our Christmas scheme, for the last three weeks, the idea being that it is in place for the beginning of November, which is a bit more reasonable, I suppose ...
What the Public don't realise sometimes, is that it takes a whole team of people ( that's 25 in our shop ) a whole month to put it all in to a shop the size of ours...so if November 1st is your deadline, or thereabouts, then you have to start around the beginning of October on the unpacking and sorting out of all the component bits, in the warehouse..
Then you start the installing process with the actual department that sells Christmas decs, up on the top floor...after that is installed, we start at the back of the shop, where it is not so noticeable, with the first window, running along Symon St., and then gradually work our way around the window run, until everything is in place...the we have to start on the interior !!
It's endless...
However, for the smaller High Street multiples like Next, there really isn't any reason to install Christmas any time before the last week of October at the earliest really !!
Harrods and Selfridges had their Christmas Departments in place, back in August !!!

Now I'm just waiting for the first house along the main road in the next village to light up. They get earlier every year!
