PS/ Exeter never had a bloody xmas market when I was there. Gits! It's good, but not great. Also, having been three years in a row now it pretty much features the same stalls in the same places each year. Devon can have new things sometimes but they also have to never change (as is the way down here). |

Fuck Xmas markets in general. Everyone in Lincoln would wet themselves over the annual market, like it was the fucking Olympics or something. And it was always a load of shit. Loads of cunts selling fucking tat to idiots.

I am a twat. I was after a movie poster by a designer that my wife really likes. A few were going on sale at 6pm today. Set a reminder on my phone and everything. Then was caught doing kids dinner etc, phone in the other room. Arse biscuits.

Damn, that sucks.
I take it they'd sold out by the time you saw the reminder on your phone?

Easily done, you set reminders etc, sometimes weeks in advance for such things then random life shit gets stuck in the way.

Yeah, last lot went in about 60 seconds so knew it was a slim chance but would rather that than my ineptitude! Still, £100 saved.

I suggest a 'take me to your dealer' poster as a witty alternative.

We go when it's quiet and the kid is at school so we get a little mooch on our own, just nice to have time to ourselves and start getting into the Christmas spirit. Agree in general with markets being shit, the pinnacle of evil is what has happened to the London one that is now this super entity of chavtastic fuckery. |

If you want a mini break and a great Christmas market on the cheap, go to Wroclaw.
I used to go there for work and their Christmas market has spoiled all others for me, including the ones in Germany I’ve been to before they were a thing in the uk too.

Fucking South West Water, no water again in my town ..lost count how many times it has happened since moving back three years ago.
Can't even remember having no water once up in London. Fucking joke. Pay through the ass, fucking CEOs get massive bonuses, they regularly pump sewage into the sea and icing on the cake is the fucking constant disruptions to supply. Fucking pissed right now.

We're with SWW, have to say I can't really remember how many times we've been cut off, pretty sure it has happened on occasion. Not getting into the whole SWW are shit side of things don't forget you're automatically entitled to compensation depending on the circumstances and how long it's off for.

The privatisation of water is absolutely criminal. Like, proper criminal. How the fuck we allowed it to become normalised, I have no idea. (I know how, but it absolutely infuriates me. The Thames Water debacle is the pinnacle but they're all at it. Really should stop reading PE.
