Santa arrives - in July!
First the good news: this week we have at last had a proper digital telly aerial fitted, so we now have all the digitals channels available to us. This means we need struggle no more with our trusty little indoor antenna (Wilko’s, £4.99 inc VAT). Or, to be more precise, there is no need for Shana to stand on one leg on an old Windsor chair behind the television set holding the indoor ‘twig’ at arm’s length in order to ensure crystal clear reception, while I lounge on the sofa watching the telly in relative comfort and summarise the goings-on in this week’s episode of House or CSI so Shana can keep up to speed with the plot.
And now the bad news: the first thing we actually saw when we went digital was a programme on the shopping channel, QVC . What were they trying to sell yesterday? Santa’s Toyland, that’s what! The entire studio was filled with Christmas trees and festive paraphernalia.
Erm…it’s still pigging July for goodness’ sake!
No need to ask what I think about it really, is there?
All I want to know is, Will the world’s constant obsession with Christmas ever end?
