Lamps are most effective in winter when it gets dark earlier

Ah Jesus,I give up.Could we not skip straight through to Christmas ?

Companies-> in it to make profit anyway they can. Did you expect them to do any less? Surprised they're not ramming Christmas and "you must buy" for next year by now. Commercialism of holidays is well known, they invent "days" and the sheep follow.

the question should be.. why are people letting it bother them?

[jcgrumbles]

Maybe it bothers them as they just spent a fortune on Xmas presents and find it a bit over the top to see Easter eggs on the shelf before Xmas is even finished.
Easter Sunday is the 31st March 2013 not December 24th 2012.
A can understand supermarkets sticking Easter eggs on the shelves on February but on Xmas eve is taking the p***.

Buying a cream egg is like buying a chocolate bar so they can sell them whenever.
A Easter egg is usually sold at Easter not ~~~~in December,, do you no remember being a wee boy and when March came along you would look forward to stuffing yourself silly wae chocolate.
A doubt its that hard stacking some shelves with eggs when you look at the amount they stack everyday..
As for the Church, who gives a f*** what they say....

Speaking of cream eggs.

What's with their new adverts?

The 'have a fling' ads have a 'Here till 31st March' tag line.

What happens after 31st March?

They'd better be making some seriously big cream eggs for easter.

Here's an old ad to put a smile on ya face...

tbh, we should just re-label them as chocolate eggs and take the 'Easter' and 'religion' out of the affair altogether. Then shops could sell them all year round. After all, chocolate eggs have no particular significance other than commercialism.

As for the Church, who gives a f*** what they say....

Agreed, its about time state and church were totally divorced !
