The hates
- Hamleys toy shop
- Queues for tills
- Couples joined at the hip walking aimlessly along the pavement
- Groups of men (normal 4 men together) walking side by side along the pavement
- Spending money
- People who walk into you because they are concentrating on sending text messages
- People standing in busy doorways having conversations
- Leaving the shopping list at work!
- staff with bubble guns at Hamleys
- Knowing what you buy will be cheaper in a few days' time.
The loves
- Hamleys toy shop
- Bringing Richard along (he can carry everything)
- Bringing happiness to my 3 year old niece. She'll love the wrapping paper and packaging even if she thinks the presents are a waste of time
- finishing by 8pm
- realizing my memory is still up to it after forgetting to bring the shopping list
- Kitchen department of John Lewis - an easy and quick source for present for family members for whom you haven't a clue what to get
- err - that's it!
I'm back in the flat now after a very productive day at Cowley St. Got 2 email newsletters out to residents of Gateshead today so a few thousand people will be enjoying my words over the next few days. I'm not returning to Gateshead tonight. As it's Christmas, I'm taking it at a leisurely pace. I'm going up tomorrow afternoon. Thank goodness I'm environmentally sensible and opt for rail rather than air travel. Had I gone for the latter, I think I would have been spending a bleak Xmas in London!

I hate idiots who walk four a breast across a whole path way, forcing you to step in to the road.
Then there are the fools who in a busy area, suddenly stop dead, meaning you have to either walk in to them or walk in to someone else.
And the ones I really loathe are those who either have a conversation on some steps, forcing you to stop of who suddenly hold a conversation walking in to a shop and, again, stop.
Happy Christmas !
