[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 492172, member: 1408"] If you asked for one ltr they'd charge £1.30 . I was told this pricing is to do with the cost of a barrel of oil on the world market . How come its the only product that is priced this way . ? Regarding television , the Christmas brain washing onslaught of adverts is now at full throttle , cranking up the fear that if you don't stock up on all this stuff you will have starved to death by New Year . Every ad break now features families of 25 or more people , grinning inanely , all carefully racially mixed , shovelling food down their throats like its their last meal and Santa's sleigh is replaced by a huge road train delivering 5 trillion gallons of Coca Cola to the huddled masses. Local radio here holds back the Christmas records until this week but now its full on along with Reindeer , sleighs, snow, mistletoe , ivy, elves , presents , fir trees, cheap tatty decorations , flashing lights , overpriced cards with even more overpriced stamps, turkeys , mince spies , booze, Frosty the bleedin' Snowman , The Wizard of Bleedin' Oz , Love bleedin' Actually , Families who only meet once a year , Christmas Specials recorded in August and as Kerch says , Pantomimes , one of the strangest of all show biz traditions , the release of a thousand CDs just in time , pictures of folk suddenly ice skating on rivers , chestnuts roasting on open fires , Jack Frost biting toes Oh and some guy who was actually born on Christmas day .
