I WENT into town last week and was amazed to find that Marks and Sparks, Debenhams, BHS, the Market Place and many others had their Christmas decorations out. I also noticed the Christmas lights in position.

I, like many others love Christmas, but this spoils it when the time actually comes. Last year it was November, now October -- it won't be long until they start getting them out at Easter.

Let's get our act together.
