Local pub (Fullers) was advertising for Xmas dinners 10 fing days ago!

Pub tries to secure some business man gets outraged.

Our local (also Fullers) was advertising Christmas Day dinner from the end of Aug. It’s already fully booked so it must have been worth it.

You can "Xmas Rant" all you want but I'm taking this for the "Stollen Ahoy!" PSA it really is.

Three pay packets before Xmas. Given how little disposable cash, and how many people in my family, it doesn’t make much sense for businesses to start advertising in December, as some on here would like. 🤔

Somebody needs to start a petition, or better yet this is exactly the kind of thing that would be perfect for a Private Member's Bill.  Given that the UK has now firmly set up shop down the rabbit hole politically, a nice movement and jolly festive debate in Parliament to ban Christmas makes perfect sense.  It is after all both a jewish conspiracy and an immigrant ... (THATS A JOKE - BEFORE I GET BANNED)

I feel sorry for all the people in non-Christian countries..

they miss out on all the threads complaining about how it’s all started too early this year..

That's the joy of the internet. Those of us who aren't actually in Christian countries can read posts from people in Christian countries/Scotland and get some sort of vicarious pleasure. I do believe that the Chinks (can we still say that?) and Iranians aren't allowed to read posts about mince pies in September, for political reasons.

Time to get the apple pie/crumble filling going and top with mini-stollen crumbled through the food processor for a great crumble.

That's a thread winner right there, that is. (Although the Lidl stollen loaf is better than the Aldi mini-stollen IME).

Is your point pubs shouldn't plan ahead for business?
