Open letter to businesses, re the 'Christmas decorations thing' (especially the Chinese takeaway downstairs).
Dear businesses
Re Christmas decorations. It's now January the 13th. Twelfth night was seven days ago. I believe I stand for everybody when I say: "Probably best to take them down now, hey?"
Yours Faithfully,
Everybody
(Having said that, I note that the pound shop fairy lights cling still to the weary rubber plant in the living room, and though I had prepared myself for it, I nearly physically flinched the other day when my housemate said, in comment on them:
"Hey, they make the room look quite nice don't they? shall we just leave them up?"
I disagreed, albeit tactfully. Christmas decorations – the clue's in the name, innit.)
How sad is it when pubs leave up the inflatable Santa as long as Valentine's Day? Or icicles all year round? I suppose it saves getting the ladders out.
ReplyDeleteWord verification is 'nulgers' - rolls off the tongue nicely doesn't it?
Pretty sad. There's a hairdressers on the Walworth Road, which seems to be open, but never actually open (if you see what I mean) which has what appears to be a Christmas tree in its window all year round. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteNulgers = my new name.
