THE C-WORD

Once Hallowe'en and Guy Fawkes Night are out of the way, all young anteaters' fancy lightly turn to thoughts of Christmas.

I tried all the traditional deterrents ('Every time someone mentions Xmas before December, Father Xmas has to execute an Xmas Elf' and so on) but to no avail.


So it is that we find ourselves at a very Xmassy Garden Centre. 


I can't help noticing that the price of everything has doubled or tripled since last year, but Wilson is naturally undeterred.


Is the £ Sterling unusually weak against the ¥ Chinese yuan? Whatever the reason, I think we're going to have to cut back on buying new Xmas decorations – maybe Wilson, Byron and the gang can make their own this year…
