I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cannot mash that
I dunno, the big supermarkets have felt the need to go on talkback radio here in Melbs defending the early sale citing "customer demand". Which, as my near elderly mother points out, is "bullshit".
Yeah, the person who's job it is to do it pretty much has that date in his calendar each year. This is all pre-planned- hell, since it's one person't job full time to only organise Xmas and Easter merch, going on the radio is a great way to justify his job.
