    Last year there was a punch up at the door when a customer rolled up at 7.45pm, we had closed 45 minutes ago and he wanted to 'just quickly get a few things'. He was told we were closed and he went off on a huge strop, got all lippy and demanded to be let in... he even said we we're a public service and had a duty to let him in and shop.

    The duty manager told him we we're open 363 days each year and he chose now to do some shopping? Tough luck, we' were closed. At this point the guy, having absolutely lost it, picked up a trolley and threw it at the guy, smashing him into the doors . The security guard, decked out with seasonal holly and mistletoe cheerfully clubbed him to the ground with his torch...
    few weeks ago we had that in the rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishty shop i work, there were still 10 customers still fking aroung 30mins after we shut + time to cash up etc.. it was hour and a half before i got home
    and that wasnt even christmas! today it wasnt as bad though (being sunday instead of saturday) but it will be in the week, WHY did i ask to work extra hours

    Poor babies, having to work part of xmas eve...

    You'll be stuffing yourselves with Turkey on Christmas day, and I'll have to make do with scoffing some Turkey sandwiches working my usual 12 hour day...

    Still, double bubble really is the true meaning of Christmas...

    JUST FOR THE RECORD I HAVEN'T SEEN A PUNTER FOR OVER A WEEK....

    They are all in bloomin' food shops.

    People used to BUY CARS at Christmas.....now they just steal borchures, say its for "next year" and then go and get angry in a Supermarket, with their "fellow man"

    The New and Used car market, can be described thus:

    You know those Cowboy films, right?

    Well....you know the Tumbleweed, right?

    Well that's it......

    all day......

    and there's that distant wind whistling throug hthe shutters too

    Commission.....who's have it?

    Not ME this month, I CAN TELL YOU

    That santa thing is a myth.

    I mean, the idea that santa is a myth is a myth. He's real..

    Back in the fifteenth century he was the man. The whole thing is true, red suit, reindeer, sleigh, climbing down chimneys, the works.

    Of course, he didn't so much leave presents as eat children, but they say it's the thought that counts.

    I thought that Santa was traditionally dressed in green? It was Coca Cola who dressed him in red to match their corporate colours... or so I thought...
