Just the thing for Kitschmas

Ship of Fools have just the things to buy your loved ones for Christmas, including this great calendar.

Speaking of this unspeakable time of year, .T. and I did a "oh no it is December and we need to get some things from King's Lynn, so let's get there by 9am so we can avoid the mad people" trip today. Although for this time of year it was quite calm, even by 11am when we left. I was rather saddened by the sight of the former Fopp (still with its signs up) now housing a cheap Christmas store and I gawped at the grotty grotto that has appeared. (Mum to small child: "Ooh, do you think Father Christmas is in there?" Small child: "Don't be silly mum".)

Also overheard when passing new trendy wine bar LXIX, "Is that pronounced licks?"
