Lonan3 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 A suggestion: All the stores that play 'seasonal' music should have a collection box - 50p gets the noise turned off for 30 seconds. That would be £30 a minute for, say, eight hours - £240 a day! Keep it going for for six weeks or so and that could be more than ten grand for a local charity!

cheeky boy Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 How about a Santa Shoot for local charity ? Take all the Santas out on to Greeba Mountain and give them ten minutes to hide, then use the elves as beaters and drive the Santas toward the guns (us Christmas haters) I would pay grouse shooting money for a day out like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I see that there are already a few elderly chav's with the outside of their houses done up like a dog's breakfast. What compels people to put up all those crappy external lights and stupid f**king flashing Santa's as soon as the nights draw in? Did you see The One Show tonight? Fitted your description perfectly.

TerryMcCann Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I was in Manchester Airport on the 25th Oct and they had decorations up there. No. That was just celebrating my date of birth rather than Jesus' Santa's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
