Forget Brexit! Get out there and spend!

Whilst we would be the last people to tell you to spend more money than you really can afford, we are also mindful of the Brexit nonsense that has crept in to everyday conversation ever since the vote to leave actually did vote to leave!

No pay rise due to Brexit, no Christmas Party due to Brexit, etc., etc., etc.

Sales figures are up this year, so post-Brexit Britain looks to be doing OK, so let's get down to a bit of retail therapy!

The Funniest Stuff

This is the latest book from Colin West and it's going to be a must buy Chirstmas gift for the children in your life!"

It's a fun book filled with more of the great and hilarious poems of Colin West and there are wonderful and very witty cartoons on each and every page, all these illustrations are from the highly imaginative and creative pen of Colin West, himself.

You and your children and grandchildren will reads about and see a whole gallimaufry of wonderful characters such as the Lollopibg Lollop, Miss Fibbery-Gibert, frollicking Fritz, the Wizzard who met up with a lizard, (with somewhat shocking results!) learn what the girl in curlers did, how problems with spelling might occur, what might make Michael feel sick and what a fussy pussy likes to dine on.

It is a book that is to be gleefully and joyously shared with children and you can be certain that these poems will be remembered and recited by you and them for many, many years to come.

It is published in hardback by Matador at £9.99 and is available for purchase from our own book and gift shop which you will find here >>> https://goo.gl/AzQ0XD but please do remember that if you want it before Christmas you should request exress delivery.

Crabbies

Crabbies drinks are perfect for the Christmas period.

Just picture the scene, the gloaming is settling in, the birds are making their last forages before they retire to their nests in your garden's hedges for the night, the standard lamp in the corner of your living room is casting a soft glow, the lights are twinkling on the Christmas tree, the fire is crackling with some coal and a couple of nice logs, the Bose stereo is playing some nice Christmas carols and you are eating some freshly baked minced pies whilst you are contentedly sipping a glass of Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer.

Life, you realise, couldn't be any better.

Well, perhaps it could! How so?

Crabbies want you to try something a little different this year. The very clever people in their drink's kitchen have been working very hard on creating some new flavours that are equally as good as their original product, but which taste different.

There is now Crabbies Scottish Raspberry Flavour and Crabbies Light, too!

You can buy these new flavours, as well as the wonderful original flavour, from most off licences, supermarkets and some convenience stores, too.

And you'll find them in all Wetherspoon pubs and other discerning pubs and bars.

To find out your nearest stockist (retailers or licenced premises) please visit

And do have yourself a Crabbies' Chirstmas! I know we will!



Get Stoopido!

You must get Stoopido for your family for this Christmas!

It's simple, yet it is utterly crazy and will have everyone laughing their heads off when you and your family and friends play round after round of this fantastic game, the game they are all raving about, the game that is called Stoopido!

You roll the dice, and then race to slap the matching face feature or give the squeaker a good squeeze!

The player who is the fastest then has the opportunity to pick a funny facial part for a rival player and the last player with a full face wins the game!

Each game set comes complete with four sets of special glasses, 25 double-sided mask features, four slap pads, one loser's selfie card, one squeaker and one dice.

Although the description here is deceptively simple, the game is absolutely hilarious to play.

It's made by Drumond Park of www.drumondpark.com and should cost about £14.00. It's available from all good toy stores but if you want to buy it online you can do so here at our very own gift and book shop, but do remember to use the express delivery option as it is getting very close to Christmas. >>> https://goo.gl/AzQ0XD
