It has seemed for quite a few years now that Remembrance Sunday has barely finished, when (figuratively) Noddy Holder appears out of nowhere shouting "It's Christmassss !!!!") and the time for solemnity, thought and thanks disappears into a frothing mass of consumerism, greed and over-indulgent BS.
Surrey Phil Nov 2018 9:44pm, 19 Nov 2018 2,697 posts	0 Surrey Phil During this evening's commute home, I couldn't believe how many people I nearly bumped into simply by them coming to an abrupt stop in the middle of the pavement. Two were looking for a bus even though they were only a few yards from the bus stop itself and another decided to come back for an Evening Standard. Don't they realise that there are of lot of other people around? Some wouldn't last five minutes if they travelled to work in London. At least us runners are used to looking over our shoulders before making a change of direction.
