Usual Wednesday grocery run this morning.
The first thing I saw on entering Tesco was large pallet loads of Rowntree and Cadbury chocolate tubs. You know, the sort of thing you have at Christmas.
There was nothing to indicate that they are part of the usual Christmas 'stuff' but they will be continually in stock until then.
Priced at £4 now they will increase to £5 in a few weeks time and remain so if previous years are anything to go by.
It's another eighteen weeks to Christmas, it's a beautiful summer's day, half the country is on holiday and the schools don't go back for another fortnight or so, yet they're shoving the festering season at us already.

And don't start me on the way people dispose of their trolleys/carts...


BTW £1 = $1.21.
