I get annoyed that food manufacturers feel the need to change the

for Xmas.

I get annoyed that when I want to go and do my regular shopping I have
to go without stuff that they have put away to make room for Xmas
stock or that I'm having to battle for space / goods with people who
are obviously going to be feeding 1000 people. ;-(

My loaf had Christmas Greetings and snow on it

It's a loaf FFS, what on earth has that got to do with religious
event, unless you were going to feed a multitude with it?

- the Lurpak is
now branded Christmastime.

I'd buy something else. They might notice the change in routine via
your loyalty card.

I don't need it.

Nor us (and we don't do any of it [1]).

It must play havock with stock management as well.

The whole (extended event) plays havoc with all sorts of things.

I 'get' that it's a holiday and that it allows some people to get
together who otherwise wouldn't but I'm sure that could / can / does
happen without all the other (often expensive / wasteful) stuff.

[1] We aren't religious, don't have small kids, won't be suckered into
the commercialisation of the event and aren't uplifted by little
flashing lights [2] or the idea of bringing a tree into the house. ;-)

[2] I could put my 16 port switch in the window. ;-)


FFS, do you ever stop whining? Go and live somewhere like Saudi Arabia if
Christmas troubles you so much.

His problem is that they chop the heads off whiners there.

otoh....
