Went into Spar yesterday to be confronted by an Easter display and it's not even next year yet . I asked the lady serving me if I was seeing things but no, she said that they are instructed to put Easter stuff out on Boxing day !!! I can feel my life flashing by, off now to stock up on Halloween sweets for the trick or treaters !

My 'children' had huge bags of chocolate mini-eggs in their stockings :)
I can beat that - my local Spar had Malteaster Bunnies out on 1st December, and on way down and back from LKA I saw Cadbury Creme eggs in some of the motorway services shops.
Yes, blink and all those Christmas decorations they are carefully packing away now, will be back out on the shelves again . I don't know why companies persist in doing it, they know we all hate it.

Clearly not everybody as they would not be wasting valuable shelf space on them if people were not buying them. Mercifully I have not seen any yet. I don't think creme eggs counts as they are generally sold all year round now.
