Easter Eggs????

Bring back Feargal Quinn! Or has he actually left Superquinn? I've a feeling he still has some kind of figurehead roll to play. Anyhow, THIS would not have happened in his day. EASTER EGGS on the shelves on the twelfth of January. They say there's an early Easter this year; it doesn't excuse it. Pathetic is what it is.

So now we've Halloween starting in August, Christmas starting the day after Halloween and Easter starting less than a week after little Christmas! What the fluck is going on and is there anyway that we as consumers can just demonstrate that enough is enough!

I was at *cough*Primark*cough* yesterday and I witnessed a "chavette" carrying a Santa Claus figure in the store. On the 3rd of October. So it "starts" before Halloween now, hmm...

The hell with it, they might as well call it "Winter Festival". It wouldn't bother me as I'm not religious, but it annoys me that they try and pretend it's anything but pure consumerism.

Yeah you're correct. I've seen Christmas decorations in Atlantic Homecare and Dunnes Stores and this was last week, thus September!

If I hear a Christmas jingle before Halloween I'm going to turn around and walk straight out of the shop leaving my unpaid shopping behind me.
