    Christmas is getting close

    Last week I watched my first Christmas TV advert, ' order now in time for Christmas delivery',
    And now most adverts are trying to sell you all kiddies toys, god help my daughter with her son.
    Cash is king this Christmas for the gifts I have told them all, I wonder what I may get again this year, they always asked what I would like, so I say cash and I shall put it against something that will cost to much to ask for.
    What do they then give me, chocolates and socks.

    Do you have to be searched every time you leave , or go through some sort of detector

    We have to push a button as we go out, it randomly lights green for go or red for search. I've never seen it go red. Or never seen anyone being searched. But I've only been there 4 days.

    I haven't had a Christmas present for about 50 years unless I've treated myself

    Don't you live near a Co-op ?

    At Xmas, the one in our village sends out pretty young ladies dressed as Santa's elves, to bring us old folk a 'goody bag' full of groceries .

    Try giving a gift then you may receive one back in return

    Arthur you are in a jolly mood,
    And with mentioning Christmas i am sure there will be lots of food,
    A glass or two and maybe a beer,
    I am sure that will raise a cheer.
    I hope gifts galore will come to you,
    But if they dont do not go Boo Hoo hoo


    Not as good as yours Arthur but a laugh i hope it gave you
