Christmas has started already, worse luck. On a holiday visit to Lancashire's award-winning, best-kept village of Waddington, a sign outside the Higher Buck, complete with Santa, reads "Christmas Menu now available - bookings being taken".
This kind of forward thinking really sickens me. I know summer's probably over now after one sunny week, but that really is taking things a bit too far.
It's almost as bad as the following year's Christmas catalogue coming out in January.
A road sign also grabbed attention in the lovely Trough of Bowland - "Speed kills - survivors will be prosecuted". Fairs dos.
I wish UK Gold would omit the Christmas editions of the comedy repeats they show.
Watching Compo, Foggy and Clegg celebrating the festive season when I'm on a summer break is most depressing.
