JennyMorgan Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 And there are two channels of continuous Christmas movies on the TV right now! Surely one of 'em could be dedicated to something interesting, like sailing, fishing and the broads? 17 minutes ago, Hylander said: God help us!!!

SwanR Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Oooo ... are we allowed to talk about Christmas now? John Lewis opened in Chelmsford this week which may make my Christmas shopping easier this year. Mods please note that I didn't start this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 I had expected that Gracie would be admitting that she'd bought this years Christmas presents at the last year's Boxing Day sales, from Brantanto's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Nobody mentioned New Year yet, have they? Hey, the rain has just stopped, the sky has gone from dark grey to bright blue, best go and bale last night's rain out of the bilges and feed the chickens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I do think it should be moved to the middle of the summer when the shops are not so busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What came to mind on seeing this was the character who was in The Booze Cruise , he was a rather Jack the Lad who thought he was God's gift ( he should have asked for the receipt and got a refund ) and the long suffering old chap next door ( ex George and Mildred). It was the kind of thing he would have done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
