00:00 you tell me do you think it's too early to start your Christmas shopping yet?

00:04 No I don't think it's too early to start Christmas shopping because I think

00:08 obviously money-wise it can be quite helpful for people to start earlier

00:11 however I do feel like it's too early for shops to have things like advent

00:15 calendars and stuff in. Do you think it's too early to be starting your Christmas

00:20 shopping at the moment? I would say so definitely. When do you think you're

00:25 likely to start? Christmas Eve. But you've not been inspired by some of the

00:30 things that the shops have put out already for Christmas shopping? No not at

00:34 the moment no still holding on to the summer. Do you think it's too early to

00:38 start Christmas shopping bearing in mind the shops have already got Christmas

00:41 things in? I think it's too early and we've not we've not had Halloween or

00:46 bonfire night yet have we and there's all the merchandise that goes along with

00:49 that but on a personal level Christmas comes at me like a runaway train. I'm a

00:56 rabbit caught in headlights and if it wasn't for the last minute nothing would

00:59 get done so that's my approach to Christmas basically. Do you think it's

01:06 too early to start Christmas shopping in Sheffield yet? Yes but I must plead guilty

01:10 because I've had a pack of mince pies. Is that that you've bought or that

01:15 somebody's bought for you? No I went to Morrisons and got a pack. They're on display now.
