have we sold our soul to santa

Well said!! Christmas is a time for having a laugh, being with friends and family. Not for moaning about the "build up being too early", or that "its all too commercial"! Christmas is a great time, and personally i think most people get so freaked out around about now, because they realise how quick it all comes round. Working by oxford street, this is a great time of year. The lights, the atmosphere, its great! everyone should loosen up and enjoy it in my opinion, cos its all over soon enough!

The Oxford Street lights are always rubbish and everyone in the West End is in a bad mood. Sooooo bah humbug.

ah but thats just your age!! Everyone in the west end?? by that you mean tourists, and we all hate them. Everyone is usually wasted, especially round this time of year, so we are all in a great mood! christmas means more lunches/work dos/xmas parties/client entertaining!! The west end is buzzing, and mr o'banton for your info, the oxford st lights are not up yet. the regent st ones are, and they look ok!

I don't believe that they will look any good. They haven't since I can remember them, West End full of miserable shoppers and unhappy shop workers -stop being so optimistic and join the dark side.

Sure that's just southerners - have you never seen Eastenders?

Spending my time in between Laaaanddan and Manc I'm pleased to report that the miserable faces are at about the same levels in both cities (apart from four or five very happy cockneys in O' Shea's on Saturday afternoon post Norf Landan derby )
