Is that what you do for a living?

At this time of year?

You have my deepest sympathies!

Bad advice. you let them put the veg in the shed for one day, and it will be a rod for your own back for ever

Under no circumstances must you ever let anything other than your tools and nuddy mags be kept in the shed. Go back 2000 years for instance. The innkeeper let it happen with his stables, and look what a mammoth **** up that turned out to be! Now we have songs of praise on telly instead of james bond of a sunday evening!

I see. That'll be why you are promoting the use of shed "squatting" over the festering season

Quit it, or you'll get an Xmas infraction

I wish you luck for Chirstmas Eve Oldsplice. If the shop I work in was anything to go by today, you'll need it. It has never let up all day, but the bosses will be happy, highest takings so far. Shop is a tip though

Don't blame you hun, you can always hope the madness has settled by then. Hopefully most people have graced our shops over the weekend and are eventually finished by Christmas Eve. It'll either be hectic or barely a soul in sight.

My Mrs ordered a Turkey from M&S recently and went to pick it up today. She was given a timeslot of between 4 and 5pm. She knew what to expect as she did it last year and urged me to stay home
On her return she told me that the queue was half way around the shop and there was "one" till dedicated to pre-orders
A guy took receipts from customers in the queue and shouted them up in no order. At one point people at the very front kicked-off as names were being called for people to collect who were further down the queue
Glad I wasn't there. cheers Jac

She was unlucky - or maybe I was just lucky. I did the same today. There were 6 infront of me - waited about 5 minutes maximum. Great service - hope the food lives up to the promise.
