It's Christmas...

...ish.

Turns out that even kids get bored with Spongebob Square Pants, Ben 10 and Peppa Pig, after 45 minutes of standing in the cold. Plenty of folk left before the lights actually went on. Why say 5.15pm, when the switch isn't flicked until nearly 6?

Wandering round the shops earlier, only one was playing Christmas tunes. Others were awkwardly silent.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
